It was my friends Birthday celebration and, well, truth be told, nobody noticed these were vegan.
Most said these are the best cupcakes they’ve ever had, granted drinks had been pouring, but all in all they were enjoyed and consumed!
I was approached by somebody about advertising for this book, “are you sure that’s vegan” like doing a review of it, and I have started doing the review unknowingly I suppose.
Their website contains a free pdf of this recipe so I think I can post the recipe. If I’m not supposed to somebody let me know.
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup canola oil( I used vegetable oil)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cocoa powder
preheat 350F
fill cups 2/3 full bake 20-25 minutes
butter cream icing
1 cup vegan margarine(earth balance)
3 cups icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract(I used vanilla bean paste)
1-2 tablespoons soy milk (I actually didn’t need to use this)
blue food colouring paste
I melted some vegan chocolate in a double boiler and then when it cooled to a warm, but not hot, smooth consistency, I piped letters with disposable pastry bag on a piece of freezer paper and put them in the freezer to firm up. once firm you have to work fast they start melting in the summer heat and the hot finger tips.
As for the review! The cupcakes are delicious. Something bitter about them though, I think my use of the vegetable oil possibly. I’ll have to try them again word for word, so stocking up my pantry’s oils is in order. Also that icing recipe makes twice the amount that you actually need, but it does taste very good.
