I recently had a request for the recipe for these cupcakes, and since I hadn’t posted it before, I’m just adding it into this post. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup soy milk
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 Garam Masala spice
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Whisk together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl, and set aside for a few minutes to curdle. Add the sugar, oil, vanilla extract to the soy milk mixture and beat until foamy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, soda, and Garam Masala. Add in two batches to the wet ingredients, and beat until no large lumps remain. Add coconut and mix in. Pour into liners, filling 3/4 of the way full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Frost with your favorite vegan buttercream or cream cheese frosting. They would also be delicious with the Coconut Pecan Fudge Frosting that I used to top my German Chocolate Cupcakes.
These sound sooo good. Are you willing to share the recipe?
Hi Sonja! I just added the recipe to my original post. If you make them, please let me know how they turn out!
Thanks so much! I love that these are vegan, but the ingredients are all things I actually have in my pantry. I’m going to try out the recipe this weekend!
Sorry, I just realized there’s no measurement unit for the amount of Garam Masala spice. I’m guessing tablespoons?
Sorry Sonja! Yes, 1 1/2 tablespoons of Garam Masala spice.
These were a huge hit with my friends last night! We all loved that the recipe is “seasonless” too – the lightness makes them great for summer, but the spice would make them totally appropriate for a holiday get-together. I was in a rush, so I just used Cherrybrook Kitchen Vanilla frosting and sprinkled coconut on top, but it went well.
Thanks!!
Oh great! I’m so glad to hear that you liked the recipe! I totally agree that it is “seasonless” too. Always delicious! And thanks for letting me know how they turned out 🙂
I made these the other night and they were *fantastic*! I even blogged about them. Thanks for the recipe!
