Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes

I have been craving a good cupcake lately.

Having found several what seem to look like great recipes but all asking for very weird ingredients I finally came upon one that seemed worth trying. Don't get me wrong, I am all about weird ingredients; welcome to my kitchen. However, I knew my husband would not be up for this so I had to find something else. This recipes comes from a great blog I follow called The Vegan Version . They turned out great! I hope you give them a try as well.

So Delicious Vanilla Cupcakes - Vegan

Ingredients:

1 cup So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 TBS cornstarch

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup Earth Balance Vegan Butter

3/4 cup organic cane sugar

2 1/4 tsp vanilla

Directions:

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins w/ cupcake liners and spray non-stick spray inside liners.

* Mix together milk and vinegar then set aside for a few minutes. Sift flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and mix.

* In another bowl using a handheld mixer combine butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy then add vanilla and beat. Add milk and vinegar mixture and dry ingredients and beat until smooth.

* Fill the cupcake liners until 2/3 full. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Allow cool and then frost!

(the frosting I made is top right - ugh)

Frosting:

3 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup Earth Balance Vegan Butter (softened)

1/4 cup So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Cream together until smooth.

Kitchen Notes:

* My frosting didn't turn out right - tasted good but looked awful. Better luck with yours!

* Cupcakes were fantastic! So glad I finally found a winner! :)
