Provided by Melissa Huggins

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar ((sub lemon juice))
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup grapeseed oil (or any neutral flavored oil)
1/4 cup applesauce
2.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract ((*optional))
1 tablespoon red food coloring gel ((vegan-friendly))
1 3/4 cups cake flour ((sub all-purpose))
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
Vegan Buttercream Frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Fill a 12-Slot Cupcake Pan with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Combine and let it sit for 10 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk. It will thicken and curdle slightly. Set aside.
  • When the buttermilk is ready, add the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, red coloring, vanilla, and almond extract. Whisk to combine well.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a mesh strainer on top, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine well and set aside.
  • Now slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk together until just combined (*Don't over mix or it can create a dense and chewy cupcake).
  • Divide batter evenly into each slot about 2/3 the way full (an ice cream scoop works great for this). Bake them in the oven for 20-24 minutes. To check for doneness, lightly press the surface - It should spring back (You can also use a toothpick and push it through the center - it should come out clean).
  • Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Then let them cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before frosting.

RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (VEGAN)



Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting (Vegan) image

These have to be one of the BEST cupcakes I've ever made!! The chocolate extract REALLY makes it, so it's worth finding. As well as the little hint of almond. For the frosting, I've actually used a little less powdered sugar and it was plenty sweet (1 1/2-3/4 cup)

RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This recipe was adapted from "What Hawaii Likes to Eat" and the frosting is adapted from a recipe by Teri Wahl. My family used to own a bakery, and these were the cupcakes we sold. There will be A LOT of frosting. Some may want to halve the recipe. We actually used a whole ice-cream scoop of frosting on top of the cupcake. This is the actual recipe for the bakery, so it makes 48 cupcakes.... it's easy to scale down to 12 but kinda hard just to do 6.

Time P1DT20m

Yield 48 cupcakes, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups unsalted butter
2 tablespoons real vanilla extract
5 lbs cream cheese (I recommend Philadelphia brand)
4 lbs powdered sugar, sifted
4 cups unsalted butter
6 cups sugar
8 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
10 cups cake flour
10 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup red food coloring
4 tablespoons white vinegar or 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • NOTE: Before starting to make these cupcakes, it helps if all the ingredients are at room temperature. Also, if you don't have a stand mixer, just use a hand mixer. I don't recommend mixing this by hand.
  • Cream cheese frosting:
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter, cream cheese and vanilla.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
  • Refrigerate until it will hold its shape.
  • Red Velvet Cupcakes:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line cupcake pan(s) with liners.
  • In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar until well creamed together, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Add oil.
  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Mix together vinegar and red food coloring.
  • Slowly add flour mixture, red food coloring mixture and buttermilk mixture, alternating between all three and ending on the buttermilk mixture. DO NOT OVER MIX!
  • Scoop dough into lined cupcake pans. Or fill until about 2/3s full.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of cupcake comes out clean.
  • As soon as cupcakes come out of the oven, put one cupcake in the freezer.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool (about 1 hour) and either using a star-tip filled pastry bag or an ice cream scooper, frost cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
  • Take the frozen cupcake and grate or food process until you get fine crumbs. Sprinkle over cream cheese frosting as a garnish.
  • ***NOTE: If you can wait, these taste even better after being refrigerated overnight!

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 20

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 ¾ cups cake flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup whole milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 ½ teaspoons red food coloring
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
¼ cup freshly brewed coffee
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
12 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon heavy cream
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons McCormick® vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
  • In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and red food coloring.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light, fluffy, and homogenous, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat on medium speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate.
  • Add ½ of the buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 1-2 minutes. Add ½ of the dry ingredients and beat until well-combined, 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining buttermilk and dry ingredients. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the coffee and beat until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before flipping the cakes out onto a wire rack, then let cool completely
  • While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until well combined and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
  • Once cakes have cooled, trim off the domed tops, reserving the scraps. Cut each cake in half so you have 4 even layers.
  • Place 1 cake layer, cut-side up, on a cake stand. Spread an even layer of frosting over the cake. Place another cake layer cut-side down on top of the first layer, spreading another even layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining 2 layers. Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the sides and smooth out with an offset spatula or bench scraper. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until the layer of frosting has hardened.
  • Frost the outside of the cake with a thick layer of frosting. Crumble the reserved cake scraps, then press into the frosting around the bottom of the cake.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
