SO EASY EGG AND DAIRY FREE CUPCAKES

So Easy Egg and Dairy Free Cupcakes image

I searched high and low for a way to make a cake from a boxed mix so other preschool moms could easily use the recipe for class parties (my daughter has food allergies). The challenge - when using egg substitutes, the box mixes just don't rise well and tend to crumble apart. These actually hold their shape, have a nice flavor (very sweet!), and are so easy to make. If you don't like the flavor of banana, you can substitute 1/3rd cup of applesauce instead. They do better at holding together if they are refrigerated overnight before serving.

Time 25m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix (look carefully at allergen list)
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 banana (ripe and mashed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vinegar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350.
Line 24 muffin cups with cupcake papers.
Using an electric mixer on low speed, blend the ingredients together (in order) until moistened (approximately 30 seconds) in a large bowl.
Scrape the sides of the bowl and blend on medium speed for another 2 minutes.
Pour the batter into the muffin cups.
Bake according to the directions on the box (this batter can, of course, be used for making cakes of different sizes, not just cupcakes).
Be careful not to overfill the cups. This recipe truly does make 24 cupcakes.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes and then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely before frosting.
Frost with a purchased dairy and egg free frosting or make your own to use.
I find that they are less crumbly if you refrigerate them overnight before serving.

Tips:

Use a good quality, dark chocolate. This will give your cupcakes a rich, decadent flavor.
Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to mix together smoothly.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cupcakes are cooked through.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These egg- and lactose-free chocolate cupcakes are a delicious and indulgent treat that everyone can enjoy. They're perfect for birthdays, parties, or any other special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these cupcakes at home. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
