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)

Tips:

  • To achieve a vibrant red color, use a high-quality red food coloring gel. Liquid food coloring may not provide the same intensity of color.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the batter come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Over IACxing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These vegan red velvet cupcakes are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture, vibrant red color, and creamy cream cheese frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit. Whether you're a vegan or simply looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, these cupcakes are sure to satisfy your sweet craving.
