Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup natural sugar
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee

Creamy Frosting

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter (plant-based), softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 tbsp strong brewed coffee or 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining your cupcake tin with paper liners to ensure easy removal and beautiful presentation.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural sugar until well combined to ensure even rising and sweetness distribution.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), and strong brewed coffee. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding carefully until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
  5. Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely before frosting.
  6. Prepare the Creamy Frosting: Whip the softened plant-based butter (plant-based) and powdered sugar (natural) together until smooth and fluffy. Add a splash of brewed coffee or vanilla extract (natural) for flavor, and mix in the natural gelling agent to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
  7. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, generously frost each one with the creamy frosting using a piping bag or spatula for a smooth, luscious finish.

Notes

  • Avoid Overmixing: Combine ingredients gently to keep your cupcakes light and airy.
  • Freshly Brewed Coffee: Use freshly brewed coffee for the best aromatic impact in your cupcakes.
  • Cool Completely: Ensure cupcakes are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste your frosting mixture before applying and adjust sugar level as needed.
  • Store Properly: Keep cupcakes in an airtight container to maintain freshness and moisture.
