Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the cake: Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the almond milk, brown sugar, oil and vanilla in another medium bowl. Add the almond milk mixture to the flour mixture and gently fold until just combined (it's OK if there are lumps). Divide the batter evenly among the prepared liners.
- Bake the cupcakes until they are golden brown and bounce back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat the margarine on medium-high in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer) until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar, almond milk and vanilla and beat on low until the frosting comes together and is smooth, about 1 minute.
- Frost and decorate the cupcakes as desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the oil, agave nectar, applesauce, vanilla, and lemon zest to the dry ingredients and combine. Stir in the hot water and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Pour 1/3 cup batter into each prepared cup, almost filling it. Bake the cupcakes on the center rack for 22 minutes, rotating the tins 180 degrees after 15 minutes. The finished cupcakes will be golden brown and will bounce back when pressure is applied gently to the center.
- Let the cupcakes stand in the tins for 20 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and cool completely. Using a frosting knife, gently spread 1 tablespoon vanilla frosting over each cupcake. Store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use almond milk and vinegar. This combination creates a buttermilk-like consistency, which helps the cupcakes rise and gives them a tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake, or the cupcakes will be dry.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These vegan vanilla cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, and they can be easily customized with different frosting flavors and toppings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cupcakes that everyone will love.
