Vegan Red Velvet Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese and butter on medium speed, just until blended, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until combined. With the speed on low, add the powdered sugar in 4 batches, beating until smooth between each addition. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes before using.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a cup pour the milk and add the lemon juice. Let sit while preparing the next dew ingredients. This makes buttermilk. Cream together the margarine, vegan sugar and then add the applesauce and flour.
• In a small bowl mix together cocoa and food coloring to form a slight paste. Add it to the creamed mixture. Mix the salt and flour together and add it to the batter alternating with the buttermilk in three batches, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Mix in baking soda and vinegar. Pour batter into 2 greased cake pans (I used round) and bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Frosting:.
• Mix softened cream cheese and margarine together. Add vegan sugar vanilla and soymilk. Mixture will be very soft (almost a glue-like texture). After cake cools slightly put one layer on a plate and pour some frosting over so that it runs down the sides. Let cool a little more and add the next layer and repeat process.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the almond milk and lemon juice, stir with a fork, and set aside for 5-8 minutes until it appears curdled.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and coconut oil with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
• Add the the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, red food coloring, applesauce, and almond milk mixture, and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
• Use an ice cream scoop to fill each muffin cup about ¾ of the way.
• Bake for 20- 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean
• Make the frosting: In a large bowl, cream the vegan butter with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the vegan cream cheese. Sift in half the powdered sugar and beat to combine. Sift in the rest of the powdered sugar and beat again.
• Fold in the vanilla and lemon zest with a rubber spatula until well combined.
• Scoop about 2 tablespoons of frosting onto each cupcake and smooth out with a butter knife. Use a wooden skewer and more red food coloring to decorate to your liking.
• Enjoy!
