A Delicious Twist on a Classic
These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re satisfying a sweet tooth or hosting a gathering. You can even enjoy them with a glass of cold soy milk for a comforting treat. The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make, requiring only 15 minutes of active time and 45 minutes of total time, including cooling.
Gather Your Ingredients
To get started, you’ll need:
- 1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, peppermint extract, or additional vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 recipe Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting (optional)
Bring It All Together
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin pan with paper or foil liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy milk and vinegar, allowing the mixture to curdle for a few minutes. Add the sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and additional extract, beating until foamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches, beating until no large lumps remain.
Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared liners, filling them 3/4 of the way. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the cupcakes to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
