How to Make Vegan Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy milk and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes to curdle.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the soy milk mixture, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
