A Cupcake with Frosting and Sprinkles, ready to eat
A Batch of Cupcakes with Frosting and Sprinkles. Decorate any way
you like, with cream or cream cheese frosting or just sandwich with butter or jam
This cupcake recipe has no eggs or dairy. It has been adapted from a recipe for Vegan Golden Cup Cakes. The recipes asks for soy milk, but if you prefer regular milk, it should still work well. A viewer mentioned that she had used evaporated milk and she was happy with the cupcakes that she had made.
I used almond milk, but you may choose any type of non-dairy milk or regular milk.
Here is the recipe.
