Time 1h

Yield 16 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 ounces vegan margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar
6 tablespoons applesauce
6 ounces soy milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
2 1/4 cups organic, unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped raspberries
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
2/3 cup organic vegetable shortening
1/3 cup vegan margarine
4 cups powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons lemon zest

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line standard-size cupcake pans with 16 cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, melt the margarine in the microwave. Once melted, add in the can sugar, applesauce, soy milk, vanilla and lemon zest. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the wet mixture and whisk together until everything is evenly incorporated with few lumps remaining.
  • Fill the liners three-quarters full and bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For the berry filling: In a small bowl, combine the fruit with the cane sugar and lemon zest.
  • For the lemon buttercream: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the vegetable shortening and margarine until light and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar and lemon zest and continue to mix until it is fluffy.
  • To assemble: Poke a hole in the center of each cupcake using the end of a wooden spoon or small offset spatula. Fill the hole completely with the fruit filling. Using a large round frosting tip, pipe a generous amount of lemon buttercream.

These cupcakes are very good, but they're not as good as the ones I get at my local bakery.

I love the combination of lemon and berries in these cupcakes. The lemon buttercream is also to die for.
