Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes With “Quickie” Ganache
- FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1/3 cups Canola Oil
- 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Kahlua
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1-1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 1-1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- FOR THE GANACHE:
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Creamer
- 1/3 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (vegan)
- For the cupcakes:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line a 12-count muffin pan with liners.
- 2. Beat together the milk, oil, sugar, Kahlua and extracts in a large bowl.
- 3. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until no large lumps remain.
- 4. Fill cupcake liners two-thirds of the way full and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until done. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow those babies to cool completely before frosting them.
- These look very depressing without frosting. Vegan cupcakes do not always "rise" the same way regular cupcakes do.
- Now it's time for the quickie ganache. This is a take on a typical ganache recipe but it's made for those of us who do not have much time to kill. Normally I would only put ganache on top of an already frosted cupcake but again, I had limited time and who doesn't love drizzled chocolate?
- 1. Heat soy creamer in a small saucepan over medium heat until it's just about to simmer.
- 2. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips, and stir until chocolate is completely melted and creamer is incorporated.
- 3. Set aside and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- 4. Use a whisk to drizzle the ganache over the cupcakes (I usually drizzle then make a full layer with the aid of a rubber spatula).
