Vegan Cupcakes and Icing

Being vegan doesn't mean you can't have delicious treats. My kids couldn't tell the difference and neither could their friends.

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 1/4 cup flour

2 Tbs corn starch

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup Earth Balance or other vegan butter substitute

Pre-heat oven 350 degrees. Mix soymilk and apple cider vingar till it curdles (see picture on the right). Cream Earth Balance and sugar. Add vanilla. In a seperate bowl combine dry ingredients. Combine cream mixture and dry mixture with soymilk mixture. Mix well. Line cupcake tray and pour batter into cupcake tray.

Icing:

1/2 cup Spectrum or other vegan shortening
1/2 cup Earth Balance or other vegan butter substitute

1 lbs. powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla
2-3 Tbs soymilk
