Dry Ingredients:
- ½ c. brown rice flour
- ½ c. white rice flour
- ¼ c. arrowroot powder
- ¼ c. tapioca starch
- OR instead use 1½ c. gluten free flour mix (make sure it’s a rice flour mix)
- ¾ c. granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. xanthan gum (omit if using a gf flour mix with it already included)
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ c. Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ c. vegetable oil
For the Frosting:
- 1/4 c.nondairy butter
- 1/4 c. non-hydrogenated shortening
- 2. c. powdered sugar
- 1/2 c. cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp. Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- chocolate sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 8-10 cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.. Add all of the wet ingredients together and mix with a wooden spoon until a batter forms. Your batter should resemble a pancake batter. On the thicker side but not too runny.
- Pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake for 15-20 mins. The baking time will vary based off of your oven but you will know they are ready when you touch the tops and they are firm.
- For the frosting, with an electric mixer, whip up the shortening and buttah together until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder 1/4 cup at a time. It will be clumpy.
- Add the vanilla and Silk almond milk until nice and fluffy. If too runny add a tablespoon of powdered sugar until firm and fluffy. Add a tsp of Silk milk at a time if too stiff.
- Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before you frost them. Simply take a spatula, add a good heaping of frosting and smooth it down, leaving an indention in the middle. Add sprinkles on top. FROSTING TIPS: If you have troubles with spreading the frosting without taking the tops of the cupcakes off, try dipping the back of a spatula with warm water before spreading and/or freeze for 15 min. This will keep it from sticking to the frosting and break up the cupcake.
