Tiramisu is such a lovely Italian dessert. I’ve always enjoyed a nice slice! The Coffee flavor combined with Mascarpone gives it that melt in your mouth enjoyment. Did you know that the word ”Tiramisu” means ”pick me up” or ”cheer me up” in the Italian language? And that’s exactly what these delicious cupcakes will do! These light and airy Gluten Free Cinnamon Tiramisu Cupcakes are not only Gluten free but Dairy Free as well, and there’s no telling. If you are strictly gluten free and dairy free another delicious cupcake recipe up on my blog are these Hi Hat S’mores Cupcakes.
A couple things to keep in mind while making this recipe.
- Sift your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift, sift, SIFT! This is a crucial step.
- Always get down to eye level when measuring your wet ingredients. Another very crucial step.
- When measuring out your flour, use a spoon to scoop the flour into your measuring cups. This will give you a more accurate measurement. ( Do not pack down flour )
- Do not use a mixer for this recipe. Use a wire whisk and whisk until the ingredients are just combined. (Be careful not to over mix. )
- Do not let your batter sit. Immediately fill your cupcake tins and bake.
If you do not follow these instructions it could affect the way your cupcakes turn out.

Love these, I’ve served them to family. No clue they were gluten free. I even served them to someone who is not a fan of coffee, chocolate, or rum! They wanted me to make again for them! I’m wondering if there is any part of the cupcake itself that can be made ahead but not baked? You said in recipe to not let batter sit, wondering if I can make parts to a point then mix about 3-4 hours later? The frosting and soak not a concern, just trying to shorten my time in someone else’s kitchen.
