Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting
Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes
with Strawberry Frosting
I purchased strawberries at Costco a couple days ago and once again it is my mission to not let them go to waste. What better way to use up strawberries then for dessert! After asking Tony what dessert he wanted that included strawberries it was a half hour discussion. I didn’t have eggs, whipped cream or milk in the fridge so my mind was going blank. Finally after much thought we decided on vanilla cupcakes with fresh strawberry frosting!! So yummy Tony had 2 :)
You will need:
1 cup soymilk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin pan with paper liners.
- Whisk the soy milk and the vinegar together and let sit a few minutes until curdled.
- Beat together the soy milk mixture, oil, sugar, vanilla, and vanilla in a large bowl. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until no large lumps remain.
- Fill cupcake liners two-thirds of the way and bake for 20 to 22 minutes till done. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
Strawberry Frosting Ingredients
· 1/2 cup whole strawberries chopped finely
· 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter , just before room temperature
· Pinch coarse salt
· 3 cups confectioners' sugar , sifted
· 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Directions
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed and slowly add confectioners' sugar; beat until well combined. Add vanilla and strawberry mix until just blended. Frosting consistency should be dense and creamy, like ice cream.
