Mini Gluten-Free Wedding Cakes

  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 1 hr 15 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15 oz) Betty Crocker™ Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix
  • 2/3 cup water (called for on the package)
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened (called for on the package)
  • 3 eggs (called for on the package)
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free almond extract (substituted for the gluten-free vanilla called for on the package)
  • 1 zest of lemon
  • 12 tablespoons gluten-free, seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Butter Cream Frosting
  • Flowers, non-perils, colored sprinkles, fresh raspberries, or other preference

Steps

  • 1
    Begin by gathering your ingredients.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray regular-size muffin tin with non-stick baking spray.
  • 3
    Combine cake mix, water, butter, almond extract, eggs and lemon zest. Beat on low speed 30 seconds, then medium speed for 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly between muffin cups and bake for 18-23 minutes, just until done and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to cooling rack and cool completely. (Speed cooling in fridge if desired.)
  • 4
    With a small, sharp knife, level tops and cut mini cakes in half.
  • 5
    Invert the cake. Add 1 Tbsp jam to center, keeping jam away from edges of cake.
  • 6
    Top with remaining half (so mini cake bottom is now on top).
  • 7
    Using a small knife, spread frosting on sides and tops of cake. Garnish as desired.

  • Keep a separate small knife in a glass of hot water. After frosting a mini cake, run the hot, wet knife over the frosting to smooth it.
  • Betty Crocker™ makes a gluten-free devil's food cake mix and gluten-free chocolate frosting, too! Gluten-free raspberry jam would be a great filing, or thick, gluten-free hot-fudge sauce.
