Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 225 ml almond milk (or other unsweetened plant milk)
  • 3 tsp vinegar
  • 115 g vegan butter (melted)
  • 70 g white sugar (equals 1/2 cup of white sugar)
  • 130 g plain white flour (equals 1 cup of plain white flour)
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 180 g vegan butter
  • 300 g icing sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp almond milk (unsweetened)
  • Optional toppings: sprinkles, powdered sugar, cocoa nibs, rose petals

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine almond milk and vinegar (to create what is called vegan sour milk). Stir and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl mix melted butter and sugar.

  3. 3

    Pour over your sour milk and stir.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, sift all your dry ingredients. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Add your wet mixture to your dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.

  6. 6

    Line your cupcake tin with paper.

  7. 7

    Pour or spoon in your mixture until the cupcake mould is ¾ full.

  8. 8

    Bake at 180°C / 356°F (fan oven) for 20-25 minutes. Remove the cupcakes when a wooden pick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

  9. 9

    Remove the cupcakes when a wooden pick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

  10. 10

    Whisk together all your icing ingredients using a metal or electric whisk. It’s very important that your icing is stiff and holds its shape.

  11. 11

    Check if your icing is stiff enough. Run a fork, spoon or spatula through the icing. If it stays still and firm, your icing is ready. If not, add more icing sugar one tbsp at a time.

  12. 12

    Grab your icing and spoon it into your icing bag to fill it.

  13. 13

    When filled, grab your bag and turn the top a few times to secure it. Try to squeeze out any air bubbles that might be in there.

  14. 14

    Start at the outer side and create a spiralling circle on top of your cupcake. Move slowly but firmly.

  15. 15

    Optional step: top off with powdered sugar.
