Classic cupcakes made vegan & healthy. Perfect for special treats!
This vegan red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting is perfect for any occasion. A soft cupcake ends with milk-free whipped cream cheese and coconut ice cream for a * healthy * dish!
The air was cold, there was snow on the ground, it was dark at 4 in the afternoon ... it was a pleasant food season!
Really, is there anyone else who wants more candy and carbohydrates during the winter? I know for sure I do!
So this winter I embraced it. Precisely. We will be full of yummy sweet snacks, but we will make it a little on the healthier side.
WHY I LOVE THIS VEGAN CUPCAKE CAKE:
This vegan red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting is made healthier with ingredients such as spelled flour, coconut oil, and frosting which are significantly lower in fat and sugar than regular frosting.
The frosting is also made with Daiya Plain Cream Cheese Style Spread, for a vegetable-based spread that is smooth, soft and tastes really like cream cheese. For this recipe, we use plain flavors but are also available in strawberry, chive & onion, or garden vegetables.
As a major supplier of vegetable products, Daiya is committed to continually expanding its range of delicious and better food products for those you already like - like cream cheese!
SOME NOTES ABOUT RECIPES:
If you are wondering how to make vegan cakes, this is the answer! To start, you can use spelled flour, plain flour, whole wheat flour, or 1-1 gluten-free flour. All of these options will work properly!
The secret to making red velvet cupcakes, well, red, is to use enough red coloring in it. Cupcake will darken when baking, so you might want to add more red coloring than you think you need. You also can, of course, leave the red coloring completely if you want, the cupcakes will taste the same. If you do, you can even add a few tablespoons of extra cocoa powder to make it more than a chocolate cupcake.
The coloring of ordinary red foods is NOT technically vegan, so if you are truly vegan, be sure to use vegan certified red food coloring.
To top the frozen milk cream cheese!
So this freezing starts with a can of coconut milk full of fat. It is a MUST that you use full coconut fat, and not coconut milk, otherwise, it will not whip into whipped cream. You can also buy ready-made coconut shake, or vegan shake topping and make it yourself.
By using a mixer, you will whip the Milk Cheese Spread Style Cream free. If the mixture becomes a little melty, you should put it back in the fridge to harden before making icing cupcakes.
