Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup vegan butter, softened (at room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup almond or soy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
nonstick cooking spray
1 cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance, 2 sticks), softened (at room temparature)
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons canned full fat coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
vegan sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a muffin form with 12 paper muffin paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the sugar and the salt and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Then add the remaining ingredients. Beat until well combined. Make sure not to overmix the batter.
  • To prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the muffin liners, spray them with nonstick baking spray after you've placed them in the muffin tray. Then divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake at 350 °F for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool down completely.
  • In the meantime, make the vanilla frosting. Place the softened vegan butter in a medium bowl and beat it with an electric hand mixer until creamy and smooth. This should take about 45 second to 1 minute.
  • Gradually add half of the powdered sugar and beat on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the canned coconut milk, the vanilla extract, and the remaining powdered sugar. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for about 30-45 seconds, until you've got a fluffy and smooth frosting. Make sure not to overbeat.
  • If your frosting is too thick, add more coconut milk (about 1 tablespoon). If it's too thin for your liking, add extra powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency (start with ¼ cup).
  • Use a piping bag to evenly divide the frosting on the cupcakes. Add some vegan sprinkles on top if you want.

COCONUT CUPCAKES



Coconut Cupcakes image

A white cake recipe with a coconut twist. I had some coconut in my fridge that needed to be used, and this is what I came up with. If you want a more intense coconut flavor, add a teaspoon or two of coconut extract. Try putting your coconut in a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother-textured cupcake. This is the first recipe I've come up with on my own, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup white sugar
½ cup applesauce
¼ cup butter, softened
2 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
1 ¼ cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  • Mix sugar, applesauce, and butter together in a bowl.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
  • Stir egg yolks and vanilla extract into applesauce mixture; fold in egg whites. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Beat coconut milk into batter until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in shredded coconut for about 30 seconds. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to ensure that your cupcakes are moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.
  • 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 to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These apple and coconut milk cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to potlucks. With their moist and tender crumb, sweet and tangy frosting, and hint of coconut, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
