Gluten free lemon coconut cup cakes

I am always in search of healthy recipes and love to bake with whole grains.This was another try for a healthy gluten free alternative of a delicious dessert.Rice flour is easy to digest and the gluten free lemon cake was moist.In the first attempt ,the cakes were a little gritty .It is needed to hydrate them with water ,so the batter would be pouring,don’t make it too thick.Because it is gluten free ,it takes little more time to cook than ordinary cup cakes.
