Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Cane Sugar Pure & Organic

Coffee Frosting

  • 1 Cup Instant Coffee Organic
  • 1 Cup Water Warm
  • 1/2 Cup Cane Sugar Pure Organic

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C ) place the cupcake liner in the muffin tin. Set aside.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar to the plant milk and set aside to let it curdle (about 5 minutes). After it curdle, add the oil, vanilla and sugar until all is mix together. Set aside.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the sifter. This process will help the cupakes fluffier.
  • Sift over the wet mixture in large bowl and whisk together until well incorporated, Do not overmix. The texture should be something like pancake batter consistency.
  • In the prepare cupcake liners, divide batter evenly about 3/4 of the way up, Do not ovefill. Place in the oven for 20-24 minutes ( oven temperatures vary, check center with toohtpick if is clean is ready)
  • After they are done take them out and let them cool off, before frosting. They will only have a light golden brown top.

Coffee Frosting

  • In a lager mixing bowl, add the organic instant coffee, sugar, vanilla and warm water.
  • Whisk or blend with hand mixer until you have a creamy consistency and it forms soft picks. You can place the bowl over your head and it won't fall on your hair.
  • After the frosting is done and the cupcakes cool off. In the pipping bag, place the tip and cut the bottom making sure the tip is secure. Add the frosting in the bag and is ready to use. Frost the cupcake from the center out to make sure they are even. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing cupcakes:
  • Stored left overs at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
If using vanilla bean:
  • Open the vanilla bean and add to the plan-based milk of choice. Let it soak over night for flavors to infuse. No need to remove the beans from milk ( if prefer to do so, use a strainer)
