The first time I posted about Red Velvet Cuppies, I did mini’s and the frosting didn’t turn out as well as could be expected, so the post was lacking in standard Primate verve.. So here’s the redux post. This time I made full-size, since I didn’t have enough liners for minis.. and sometimes it doesn’t hurt to go standard-sizing – I’m just a gnome deep down, and love all things mini or gnome-size. 🙂 But who’s really going to turn down a cupcake, regardless of size.. honestly. This recipe makes 12 regulars, or about 24-32 minis. I old-school frosted with standard vegan Buttercream Frosting. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Red Velvet Cuppies:
1 C hemp or almond milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 C turbinado sugar
1/3 C canola oil
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
1 C oat flour
1/4 C AP flour
1/3 C cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
red food coloring, as needed (or omit for a basic chocolate cupcake)
Buttercream Frosting: [this will make enough for piping the frosting, if frosting old-school style freehand..HALF the recipe]
4.5-5 C sifted powdered sugar (I put in 3 C as the original recipe called for, but then added about 1.5-2 C more..didn’t measure it, but added until it was the right consistency)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners (or opt for minis). In a large measuring cup, combine milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together sugar and oil. Pour into milk mixture. Set aside.
3. In same mixing bowl, sift (or whisk) together flours, cocoa powder, baking soda & powder, and salt. Add liquid mixture. Stir to combine. Add red food coloring to desired color.
4. Allocate around 1/4 C per cupcake for regulars (about 1 TBSP or so for minis). Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes for regulars, 12-15 minutes for minis.
5. Let cool while you make the UnButtercream Frosting in a stand mixer. Frost. Enjoy!
Happy Baking!

Where do you get your vegan powdered sugar? I have yet to find any in store.
I prefer Wholesome Sweeteners brand for granulated and powdered sugars. They are vegan, and I can always find them at Whole Foods..but now (depending on your geographical location) I can also find WS at places like HEB, Kroger, and possibly at places like Trader Joes (if you’re out West). You could also try making your own from your preferred vegan granulated sugar (something I’ve never personally done.. but if you do, let me know) – try this link: http://www.veganchef.com/veganpowder.htm
