Golden Vanilla Cupcakes with Choc Ganache Frosting



These are the best cupcakes ever...no joke Isa really nailed this one! They are from the vegan cupcakes take over the world cookbook and they are the best cupcakes I have ever had, vegan or not.


Golden Vanilla Cupcakes

1 cup soymilk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 cups flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract

Preheat over to 350. Whisk soymilk and vinegar and set aside. Beat together the soymilk mixture, oil, sugar, vanilla, and almond. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 of the way and bake for 20 minutes.

Chocolate Ganache Frosting

1/4 cup soymilk
4 ounces chocolate
2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Bring the soymilk to a boil in a saucepan, immediately remove from heat and add chocolate and maple syrup and stir until smooth. It will seem a bit runny but by the time the cupcakes are done it will have hardened up.
