Vegan Rainbow Vanilla Cupcakes

These vegan cupcakes store up to 3 days (by when they have all been eaten), in a cool dry place. If icing the cupcakes like I did, for a party, then best to store in the fridge so the icing doesn’t melt and run.

Ingredients (serves 12)

1 cup Self Raising Unbleached Flour
1/2 cup Vegan White Sugar
1/4 cup Light Oil
3/4 cup Soy Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Few drops Food Colours - Red, Blue, Green & Orange. Queen brand makes vegan colours.

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line cupcake pan with liners.
Mix the flour, sugar and vanilla essence till well combined.
Add the oil, Apple Cider Vinegar & Soy Milk.
Whisk well together for a few minutes until mixed well till smooth. At this stage if wanting to make rainbow cupcakes then drop a few drps of desired colouring into the batter or, proceed with making plain cup cakes.
Drop approximately 2 Tablesppoons of batter in each cupcake liner.
Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until, a skewer inserted into the centre of a cupcake is clean.
Cool thoroughly before icing or dip tops in warm melted jam and dust with powdered sugar.

This is too cute. I’m wondering what it will taste like with the apple cider vinegar!
