RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (VEGAN)



Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting (Vegan) image

These have to be one of the BEST cupcakes I've ever made!! The chocolate extract REALLY makes it, so it's worth finding. As well as the little hint of almond. For the frosting, I've actually used a little less powdered sugar and it was plenty sweet (1 1/2-3/4 cup)

Provided by DustyandSarah

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 cake, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 cups turbinado or other raw sugar
8 tablespoons margarine
1 cup soymilk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 ounces vegan red food coloring (or beet juice)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
8 ounces vegan cream cheese
8 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2-1 cup vanilla soymilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a cup pour the milk and add the lemon juice. Let sit while preparing the next dew ingredients. This makes buttermilk. Cream together the margarine, vegan sugar and then add the applesauce and flour.
  • In a small bowl mix together cocoa and food coloring to form a slight paste. Add it to the creamed mixture. Mix the salt and flour together and add it to the batter alternating with the buttermilk in three batches, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Mix in baking soda and vinegar. Pour batter into 2 greased cake pans (I used round) and bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Frosting:.
  • Mix softened cream cheese and margarine together. Add vegan sugar vanilla and soymilk. Mixture will be very soft (almost a glue-like texture). After cake cools slightly put one layer on a plate and pour some frosting over so that it runs down the sides. Let cool a little more and add the next layer and repeat process.
