VEGAN CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a muffin form with 12 paper muffin paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the sugar and the salt and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Then add the remaining ingredients. Beat until well combined. Make sure not to overmix the batter.
- To prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the muffin liners, spray them with nonstick baking spray after you've placed them in the muffin tray. Then divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake at 350 °F for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool down completely.
- In the meantime, make the vanilla frosting. Place the softened vegan butter in a medium bowl and beat it with an electric hand mixer until creamy and smooth. This should take about 45 second to 1 minute.
- Gradually add half of the powdered sugar and beat on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the canned coconut milk, the vanilla extract, and the remaining powdered sugar. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for about 30-45 seconds, until you've got a fluffy and smooth frosting. Make sure not to overbeat.
- If your frosting is too thick, add more coconut milk (about 1 tablespoon). If it's too thin for your liking, add extra powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency (start with ¼ cup).
- Use a piping bag to evenly divide the frosting on the cupcakes. Add some vegan sprinkles on top if you want.

BABY SHOWER CUPCAKES (VEGAN FRIENDLY)
I made these cupcakes for my sister-in-law's Baby Shower. She wasn't finding out what the sex of her baby was until the birth so I used that for the frosting idea (see the picture). I am a strict vegetarian who rarely gets to enjoy special occassion treats so these are vegan so I get to join in the fun :)

BABY SHOWER CUPCAKES
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low; beat in half of the flour mixture, then all of the milk, then the remaining flour mixture until just combined.
- Transfer one-third of the batter to separate medium bowl. Add the pink or blue food coloring and stir until uniform in color. Using an ice cream scoop, add scoops of colored batter back to the bowl with the plain batter in an evenly spaced circle. Run a butter knife or skewer through the batters to create a swirled and marbled look.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups using the same ice cream scoop, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes to the rack to cool completely.
- For the vanilla American buttercream: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer) and beat on low speed until mostly incorporated. Add the vanilla, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth. Adjust the consistency with milk as desired. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. (If refrigerated, allow to come to room temperature and then beat on medium-high speed until smooth before using.)
- For the assembly: Use yellow food coloring to tint the buttercream pale yellow. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (such as number 866, 867 or 868) with the buttercream. Pipe buttercream in a swirl over the top of each cupcake to cover it completely.
- Sprinkle a work surface with cornstarch and roll out the skin-tone fondant to roughly 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 4 circles with a 2-inch circle cutter. In the middle of each circle, create eyes by making 2 half-moon indentions with the small end of a straight piping tip (such as number 805 or 806). Roll 4 smalls balls of fondant to make noses, brushing them with water to secure them to the face. Set the faces aside.
- Roll out the pink and/or blue fondant to about 1/8 inch thick. Use the 2-inch circle cutter to cut out 2 circles. Use a knife to cut the circles in half to form hats. Cut a small strip from the flat end of each semicircle and stack it on the bottom of each hat to make a border, securing with water. Brush additional water onto the back of the hats and secure them to the faces.
- Cut 4 small circles of pink fondant using the small end of the straight piping tip. Brush with water and attach to the faces as the base of a pacifier. Roll 8 small balls of pink fondant. Use 4 to attach to the hats as pompoms and 4 to attach to the small circles to complete the pacifiers. Lay the fondant faces on top of cupcakes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line the holes of a 12-hole cupcake tin with paper cases. Stir the milk and vinegar in a jug and leave to thicken slightly for a few mins.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until well combined. Whisk in the vanilla, then add the milk a splash at a time, alternating with spoonfuls of the flour. Fold in any remaining flour, the baking powder and a pinch of salt until you get a creamy batter. Don't worry if it looks a little curdled at this stage.
- Divide between the cupcake cases, filling them two-thirds full, and bake for 20 - 25 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
- To make the buttercream, beat the butter, icing sugar and vanilla with an electric whisk until pale and creamy. Divide between bowls and colour with different food colourings until you get desired strength. Spoon or pipe onto the cooled cupcakes.
