Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ sticks of vegan butter melted
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Vegan egg replacer Or 2 egg equivalent according to packaging
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup vanilla almond milk
  • 2 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

  • 2 ½ cups vegan confectioners’ sugar
  • ¾ cups vegan butter - softened
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon soy whipping cream

Instructions

Vanilla Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Pro Tip: If you're using a fun design and really want them to stand out, double up your liners!
  • In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients until blended.
  • In a large mixing bowl blend the butter and sugar for two minutes. The butter and sugar should look light and fluffy when you're done.
  • Add the egg replacer to the butter and sugar mixture and mix on medium for one minute.
  • To the stand-mixer, add half of the flour mixture and beat on a low speed until combined.
  • Now add the almond milk and beat until combined.
  • Add the remainder of the flour, the vanilla, and the lemon juice and beat until just combined. Batter should be thin. Add more almond milk if needed.
  • Fill ¾ of the cupcake liners and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Tops should be slightly golden.
  • Use the toothpick test! Insert a toothpick into the center cupcake and pull it out. If the toothpick comes out clean (without any wet batter) the cupcakes are done!

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

  • Beat all of the ingredients on high speed until light and fluffy.
