  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.

  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!
