Tips and Storage for Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Make the best gluten-free carrot cake cupcakes at home with these tips. Use a cookie scoop to fill cupcake liners. It makes the batter spread evenly without spills.
To get the ideal cream cheese frosting, ensure your ingredients are cold. This includes cream cheese and butter. Cold ingredients help your frosting be perfect for piping or spreading. If it’s too stiff, add a bit of heavy cream and mix till it softens.
Let your cupcakes get to room temperature before serving. This makes the frosting softer and improves the cupcake’s taste and texture.
Store leftover gluten-free carrot cake cupcakes in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. If they’re not frosted, they can stay at room temperature for a day or two.
Freezing cupcakes can make them last longer. But, only freeze them if they’re not frosted. Wrap them individually with plastic wrap before freezing. They can stay in the freezer for up to two months. Remember to frost them after thawing before serving.
