  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)

  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Frosting:
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter until creamy.
    • Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
    • Add non-dairy milk as needed to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
  9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once cooled, frost each cupcake generously with your choice of frosting. You can use a piping bag for decorative swirls or simply spread it on with a spatula.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Your Vegan Cupcakes are ready to be enjoyed!

Tips

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
