Vegan Golden Vanilla Cupcakes

Recipe #302367 | 35 min | 15 min prep | add private note

This cupcake recipe is from the book Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. You can make this recipe using soy margarine or canola oil. IF USING OIL INSTEAD OF MARGARINE DOUBLE THE SALT. I have only used the canola oil in this recipe and the results were surprisingly delicious. The texture is good and so is the flavor.

SERVES 12 , 12 cupcakes (change servings and units)

I have to say, I was probably the most skeptical person trying this recipe. I have an order for dairy free, eggless yellow cupcakes this weekend (the child has allergies). I've tried several recipes subbing rice milk for milk and using my usual egg replacer for eggs. They all flopped. I'm not sure why I never thought of looking up VEGAN Cupcakes. These were so simple to whip up. I was a bit worried b/c the batter was super thin, but when my timer went off, I was surprised to see them as puffed up as they were. I couldn't wait to taste one so I dug in while they were still warm. What a lovely flavor and even my husband liked them. I can't wait to make these this weekend for my co-workers son. This is going right in my favorites. Now I have a dairy free and eggless scratch yellow cake recipe for orders. YAY!!! Thank you for posting!

    These are amazing. They rose so much better than I expected them to. I make them withthe canola oil. They are great just the way they are but I have also adapted them to make coconut cupcakes. I replaced the soymilk with coconut milk (which honestly doesn't really change the vanilla flavor at all, you'd need coconut extract to do that.). I frosted them with a vegan coconut buttercream icing and topped them with shredded coconut. I've taken these to a party with all omnis and they've disappeared in minutes!

    Lovely, light vanilla cupcakes. I used the canola oil option, and used skim milk instead of soy - still turned out wonderfully. Filled them with raspberry jam and they were absolutely divine. This is my new go-to vanilla cupcake recipe!
