Vegan Lemon Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting
- FOR THE VEGAN LEMON CUPCAKES:
- 1-3/4 cup Spelt Flour
- 1 cup Powdered Honey Or Coconut Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Or Pink Salt
- 1-1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Almond Milk
- 1/2 cups Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/4 cups Neutral Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Zest
- FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- 1/4 cups Earth Balance Butter
- 1/3 cups Coconut Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1-1/2 cup Powdered Xylitol
- 1 Tablespoon Spelt Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Almond Milk
- For the cupcakes:
- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Combine the almond milk with the lemon juice in a small dish. Add the milk/lemon mixture to the dry ingredients with the oil, vanilla and lemon zest. Gently mix to combine.
- Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to fill the pan. Fill the prepared cupcake wrappers almost all the way full. These will puff up the best when more than 3/4 the way full. Bake at 350u0b0F for 14-16 minutes.
- For the frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the Earth Balance butter and coconut butter. Mix until well combined. Add all the other ingredients except milk and beat until smooth; it may become a little crumbly or chunky-looking. Add almond milk slowly and beat until smooth and silky or to desired consistency. Pipe or spread onto cooled cupcakes. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
- Yields 12 cupcakes and about 1 1/2 cups of frosting.
