Instructions
Vegan Red Velvet Donuts with Cream Cheese Frosting
Preheat the oven to 350
In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond milk, melted vegan butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda together. Then, add the flour and mix just until a batter forms. Add the red food coloring and mix. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into 14 greased silicon donut molds. Don't over-fill your molds. Bake for about 30 minutes.
While the donuts are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vegan cream cheese together. Allow the donuts to cool and then frost them. Enjoy!
