  • ½ cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 cup sugar or ⅓ cup purecane sugar-free substitute
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cup regular or gluten all purpose flouur If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
  • 5 teaspoon red food coloring

Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 4 oz vegan cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoon softened vegan butter
  • option to top with red sprinkles

Instructions
 

Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • Mix together the almond or oat milk, melted vegan butter, purecane or sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and food coloring until well combined. Then, add the flour and mix just until a thick batter forms.
  • Spoon the batter into 12-14 lined cupcake molds and bake in the oven to 25 minutes. While the cupcakes are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter. If you desire a thicker frosting, add ¼ or more powdered sugar to the mixture until desired consistency is reached. Spread the frosting onto the cupcakes once they've cooled and enjoy!
