Prepare Muffin Cups or Cake Pan

For Cupcakes:

Simply line 2 muffin trays with the decorative paper cupcake liners of your choice.

For Cake:

Line 2 8" round cake pans with foil. 

Lightly coat the foil with margarine (or oil of your choice) 

Lightly flour the pans. Tap excess flour out of the cake pans

Mix Ingredients

• Add all ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

• Mix with an electric mixer on low until the batter is moist.

• Mix on medium until all ingredients are fully combined and there are no longer any large chunks of margarine or coconut cream. There may be a few tiny bits and that's okay. The batter should be thick and creamy.

• Pour into cake pans or spoon into muffin cups. Fill cake pans and muffin cups 2/3 full. 

• Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. 

• Test with toothpick. When toothpick comes out clean, cake/cupcakes are done. DO NOT OVERBAKE!!!

• Cool in pan or muffin tin placed on wire rack for 10 minutes.

• Remove from cake pans/muffin tins and cool completely before frosting or freezing. 

• Sample at least one frosted cupcake, you know, just to make sure it's delicious! 

Substitutions

Substituting for Coconut and Rice Milk:

You can use any non-dairy milk/ milk combo of your choice as long as that milk contains fat. If you use rice, almond, or oat milk, you'll need to add fat to the recipe, preferably a saturated fat (an oil that's solid at room temperature). If that's not possible, add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the recipe.

Alternative milks contain different amounts of sugar so adjust the amount of sugar you add to the recipe accordingly. 

Substituting the Flax Meal:

The recipe uses Flax Meal and applesauce as an egg replacement. Fortunately, there are a million ways to substitute eggs in recipes. Check out The Kitchn.com for a bunch.

Substituting the Soy:

Fluffy Lemony Vanilla Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

4 1/2 Cups of Powdered Sugar

1/3 Cup of Stick Plant Butter/Margarine

4T Lemon Juice

2t Vanilla Extract

4-8T Plant-Based Milk

Add powdered sugar and margarine to a mixing bowl.

With an electric mixer, cream margarine into powdered sugar.

Add lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Add plant-based milk one Tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

To frost cake or cupcakes, use a knife or frosting knife. For smooth frosting, dip knife in warm water. You may also use a frosting bag to decorate your cake/cupcakes in a more fun and elegant way.

*For chocolate frosting, don't add the lemon juice (although if you do, it's still amazing), simply add 1/4-1/3 cups of cocoa powder and beat in more liquid until your frosting reaches the desired consistency. Be sure to taste your frosting and adjust the amount of cocoa powder to your taste.
