VEGAN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12 cup muffin pans or line with 18 paper baking cups.
• Measure the apple cider vinegar into a 2 cup measuring cup. Fill with almond milk to make 1 1/2 cups. Let stand until curdled, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk mixture, coconut oil and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with desired frosting.

VEGAN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a muffin form with 12 paper muffin paper liners.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the sugar and the salt and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
• Then add the remaining ingredients. Beat until well combined. Make sure not to overmix the batter.
• To prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the muffin liners, spray them with nonstick baking spray after you've placed them in the muffin tray. Then divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake at 350 °F for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool down completely.
• In the meantime, make the vanilla frosting. Place the softened vegan butter in a medium bowl and beat it with an electric hand mixer until creamy and smooth. This should take about 45 second to 1 minute.
• Gradually add half of the powdered sugar and beat on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the canned coconut milk, the vanilla extract, and the remaining powdered sugar. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for about 30-45 seconds, until you've got a fluffy and smooth frosting. Make sure not to overbeat.
• If your frosting is too thick, add more coconut milk (about 1 tablespoon). If it's too thin for your liking, add extra powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency (start with ¼ cup).
• Use a piping bag to evenly divide the frosting on the cupcakes. Add some vegan sprinkles on top if you want.
