If you have been following the blog for a while you know, I am not a seasoned baker, but one who loves to experiment from time to time. I have been working with a vanilla cupcake for a while. Then my daughter comes home with the most delicious, oh my God!! Sink into the softness kind of vanilla cuppies she baked at school. While shamelessly stuffing my face, I asked her if she could teach me.
She did, we made a couple of batches and happily had them. Of course, then I had to make changes. I wanted a vegan one!! She offered to help coz between the two of us she is turning out to be a better baker. Our week on week experiments got better and better till one day we hit the exact same feel of the classic vanilla cupcake. So far, we had our quick hack blender cupcake with chocolate for that cupcake craving. Now we are totally hooked on this one.
Here is what is cool about these vegan vanilla cupcakes.
They are
- Moist
- Super fluffy
- Eggless
- Look adorable for any event you cater to
- Easy to bake
- Made with simple everyday pantry ingredients
- Stay in the refrigerator for a week (they disappear much before that, I promise)
- Taste better than store-bought with the perfect buttercream frosting.
I guess if that’s not enough to convince you, try a taste test of these best-ever vegan vanilla cupcakes.
We are going to hold on to these vegan vanilla cupcakes forever, it was our journey together that was so inspirational. Plus, I don’t think anyone can say no to such adorable ones.
To the better baker!!
