Lime Cupcakes

I really enjoyed developing this recipe.

​

I woke up on a Monday morning and had the inspiration to make some 'buttery' textured lime cupcakes, but suitable for anyone!  It is always a challenge creating recipes which are free from all 14 recognised UK allergens, but I really hope you agree with me, this one is a winner!

​

Let me know what you think.  Remeber xanthum gum is the essential ingredient here!
