Vanilla Cupcakes - Dairy and Egg Free

Vanilla Cupcakes - Dairy and Egg Free

Makes 12 cupcakes

Preheat oven  to 350 F

Really quite simple and quick. Tastes great too and has a spongy, moist texture. 

You will need:

1.5 cups unbleached flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Combine the above ingredients in a bowl and stir

In another larger bowl combine all the ingredients listed below:

3/4 cup almond milk or any other dairy free milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar, I used golden

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/3 vegetable oil, I used a canola olive oil blend

1 tsp vanilla

Using a whisk, add the dry flour mixture to the wet.

Stir until well blended.

Spoon into paper lined cupcake pan.

Cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until slightly golden.

Frosting recipe:

Mix together in a stand mixer or using an electric hand held mixer:

- hold back some of the icing sugar. Then gradually add until you get the fluffy texture that you’re looking for.

1/2  cup vegan margarine

1 1/2 cups icing sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

4 drops of food colouring....or as many as you need to achieve your desired shade.

Ensure cupcakes are totally cool before you frost them. I used a pastry bag with my favourite tip for my frosting 

You can simply spread it on with a knife if you don’t have a pastry bag.

Enjoy!!
