Vegan Cup Cakes Recipe

Lately I have been reviewing lots of Easter Eggs,  so my sweetie cupboard was over full with chocolate.  I decided to make a few batches of cup cakes to use it all up and send them to lots of family members.  I made quite a few as I have reviewed over 20 Easter Eggs.

Here is a simple cupcake recipe:-

250 grams of self raising flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
150 grams of caster sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
a squirt of lemon juice
100 grams of vegan chocolate chips or pieces (smashed up Easter Eggs)
6 tablespoons of sunflower oil
teaspoon of vanilla extract
225ml of water

Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees.

Lay out a muffin baking tray and line with 12 cupcake cases.

Mix all the ingredients into a bowl,  give it a really good stir making sure that all the lumps and bits of flour are worked through.

Spoon the mix into the cases and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.  When cooked take out the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Decorate with some vegan butter icing.   Use approx.  30grams of vegan margarine, 50grams of icing sugar and some cocoa powder.  Mix it all together.  you might need to add a little water.  Spread on top top of cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with some vegan cake decorations.

There is a lovely vegan bakery making the most amazing looking cakes and treats for vegans.  You can buy through mail order or from the bakery in Southampton.  I cannot wait to try some of the treats they make as they look soo good,   I will review the cakes soon.

Here is some information from their website:-

About Hannah Banana Bakery and her delightful treats

Hannah Banana Bakery started in 2011 when Hannah’s baking skills went into overdrive. Using her nine years of vegan cake baking experience, she wanted to offer vegan and gluten free cakes and treats to people on the South Coast, without the need to travel, all the way to Brighton. After writing a number of vegan recipe ‘zines and contributing to ‘Another dinner is possible’ and ‘Lickin’ the beaters 2’ cook books, she took an NFCE sugar craft course and learned the finer art of celebration cake decoration. Her qualifications now include a level 2 certificate in food safety in catering (2 day course) as well as a PhD in biology (for a super clean kitchen!). She mid way through an 8 week chocolatier course to ensure you get your perfect cake every time!

About Hannah’s cakes

Vegan diets don’t eat any animal products. All Hannah Banana cakes are made without milk or their derivatives, honey, eggs or butter, but this doesn’t hinder their yummy flavour.  Most of the items can also be made to suit an assortment of dietary requirements, including glutenallergies, low sugar or soya free.

Vegan Rum Butter Iced Ginger Cake with Chocolate Chips

We had a visitor over the weekend who happened to be celebrating a Birthday,  so I thought I would make some grown up cupcakes.  I am please to report that they went down quite well.  This recipe makes 12 cup cakes.

Ginger and Chocolate Chip Cup Cakes with Rum Butter Icing.

250gram of self raising flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
125 grams of caster sugar
1 dessert spoon of ginger spice (powder)
50 grams of vegan chocolate chips or pieces
50 grams of Stem Ginger Chopped ( I used the Crystalised Ginger)
6 tablespoons of sunflower oil
teaspoon of vanilla extract
225 ml of water

For the Icing
A cap full of Rum
2 Table spoons of Icing Sugar
20grams of vegan margarine, I like to use Vitalite

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.  Using a muffin/cupcake tray line them with pretty cup cake cases.

Mix together all of the first part of the ingredients into a bowl.  If you have  a mixer or food processor, this helps to get more air into the mix.  Give it a good mix through.

Spoon the mixture evenly into the 12 cases,  place in the oven for 12-15 minutes.  Then allow to cool on a rack.

To make the icing mix together all of the Icing ingredients.  You may need to add a little more or less of the icing sugar to get a creamy texture.

With a flat knife spread the icing onto the cooled cakes.  I sprinkled mine with some grated dark chocolate.

Cherry Cupcakes

It was my birthday the other day and I was so pleased that Paul made me some cherry cup cakes.  He used my recipe for the vegan orange cupcakes and switched the orange juice to cherry juice and put a glace cherry on top.  They tasted fantastic and looked wonderful  Thanks Paul.

I was lucky enough to get a couple of new and exciting veggie cook books from which I will be trying out some new recipes and new ideas soon.  Thanks Ray and Pat.

Paul also cooked me the Lentil and Chestnut Wellington recipe that I published a little while ago with some sweet potato wedges,  I had a great day.
