vegan vanilla cupcakes, with non vegan meringue

I got this recipe from a cook book called ‘Are You Sure Thats Vegan’

It tastes like a simple white cake, it’s fluffy and perfect.

I filled my cupcakes with strawberry buttery frosting

and put a simple meringue on top.

for the meringue, for every 1 egg I use 1/2 cup of sugar.
so I used
2 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

using a double boiler, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla together, and put over the boiling water. whisking until the mixture has turned white and is quite hot to put your finger in.

transfer the egg and sugar hot mix into your mixing bowl and set on high speed for about 10 minutes or until the meringue has formed into stiff peaks.

I used a piping bag with a large star tip and did one large plume of meringue and put sprinkles on top.
