Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
2. Make Vegan Buttermilk: In a small bowl, combine the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the curdled soy milk mixture, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
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 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 10 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 dairy-free milk as needed to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once cooled, frost each cupcake generously with the vanilla frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Decorate with sprinkles if desired and enjoy your delicious Vegan Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes!
