My Fave Egg-Free Cupcakes
I really love this recipe.
It's so nice to not have to measure out egg replacer and I love egg replacer, but it is SO pricey. This recipe doesn't use it and still gets a great texture, flavor and rise. Which makes me smile :) I adapted this recipe from a vegan version I found online.
I made this for the kids today and they are excited to have a Tea Party to celebrate...well the 4th Week of Easter and "almost done" with homeschooling week. Well, maybe mommy's just glad to be ALMOST done.
Here's the recipe:
Chocolate Allergen-Free Cupcakes:
1 cup of soymilk (or other dairy-free milk)
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil (I use Canola but you can sub any other oil you prefer---flax oil works for healthier option)
1 1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup rice flour (I prefer white, but brown works too)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp Xanthum gum or guar gum
1/3 cup of cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Works best for 24 mini cupcakes or you can do 12 regular cupcakes. I haven't tried a cake yet. I'm a fan of the mini cupcakes for these.
Whisk wet ingredients together. Mix dry ingredients with a fork until combined. Pour into prepared pans (Greased or filled with cupcake wrappers). Bake until a toothpick comes out clean around 15-20 minutes depending on your oven and the size of the cupcakes.
Let cool and frost with icing of your choice. I like Wilton's Dairy-Free version of their buttercream, but pick the icing that you like best! :)
Blessings!

Hello! I stumbled across your blog while searching for dairy free buttercream icing recipes. I love your cakes (esp the Tangled one!). Would you be willing to post your icing recipes? I need one that can be used for decorating as yours obviously can be! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI use the Wilton dairy free buttercream recipe that does double shortening (no butter) and butter flavor. For 3 cups of icing it is 1 cup of shortening, 1tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp of butter flavor (at any craft store in the cake section), and 4 cups of powdered sugar. I usually triple or quadruple this recipe when I make a tiered cake. A double recipe will frost and decorate an 8 inch but I'm pretty crazy and usually need much more plus I really don't like to make another batch once I've started. I use a LARGE stand mixer. I would suggest only doing one batch at a time if you are using a regular 4 qt stand mixer or a hand mixer.
