Vegan red velvet cupcakes with vegan cream cheese frosting via The Whisk Kid
Vegan red velvet? Vegan cream cheese? Im intrigued! I bet they are delish :)
Here is their recipe:
Vegan Crimson Velveteen Cupcakes via Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
1 c soy milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 c flour
1 c sugar
2 Tbls cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c canola oil
2 Tbls red food coloring (liquid)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 tsp chocolate extract (I couldn’t find this and thought they were great without it!)
Preheat oven to 350F and line a cupcake tin.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy milk and vinegar and set aside to curdle (this is to imitate buttermilk. It is an important step because the vinegar gives the baking soda something with which it can react!)
In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Add the oil, food coloring and extracts to the curdled soy milk and whisk well to combine. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet and fold to combine, mixing just until large lumps disappear.
Pour into liners and bake 18-20 minutes.
Makes 1 dozen.
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting via Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
