Ingredients:
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup of organic cane sugar
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup sprinkles
For frosting:
- 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 – 3 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 splash non-dairy milk
- Food coloring
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and line a standard muffin holder with 12 paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour non-dairy milk and vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle/activate.
- Add oil and vanilla and whisk or use a hand mixer to beat to combine. Once combined, add the sugar and mix.
- Add the dry ingredients gradually and mix well until no large lumps remain. The texture should be somewhere between thick and thin, not liquidy.
- Fill the cupcake papers just under 2/3 the way up and bake on the center rack for 20 – 24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted to the center comes out clean.
- Take out of the oven and give it some time to fully cool.
- Once cooled, frost cupcakes and top with sprinkles. Store leftovers covered at room temperature or refrigerated up to 3 days.
For frosting:
- Whip the butter for about 5 minutes using a paddle attachment on the stand mixer.
- Sift the confectioners’ sugar and beat it in slowly. Add the vanilla and beat everything until you have an even, fluffy consistency.
- Separate the buttercream into 4 batches and prepare those piping bags starting off by coloring 3 of those batches using the food colorings of your choice.
