VEGAN RED VELVET CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Fill a 12-Slot Cupcake Pan with cupcake liners.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Combine and let it sit for 10 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk. It will thicken and curdle slightly. Set aside.
• When the buttermilk is ready, add the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, red coloring, vanilla, and almond extract. Whisk to combine well.
• In a large mixing bowl with a mesh strainer on top, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine well and set aside.
• Now slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk together until just combined (*Don't over mix or it can create a dense and chewy cupcake).
• Divide batter evenly into each slot about 2/3 the way full (an ice cream scoop works great for this). Bake them in the oven for 20-24 minutes. To check for doneness, lightly press the surface - It should spring back (You can also use a toothpick and push it through the center - it should come out clean).
• Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Then let them cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
