Quick post on the success of these BEAUTIFUL, MOIST, and AMAZING vegan cupcakes! I dare anyone to taste these and tell me they taste vegan! Now that I am a vegan, I couldn't live without my sweets, which is why I needed to experiment with vegan baking! I have such a sweet tooth... I absolutely love this easy recipe and will be making it for my boss's birthday this coming Wednesday. I won't be telling the office crew that the cupcakes are vegan until everyone's have had a bit!
Here is the site where I found this recipe (Click Here). I've made tiny tiny modification from the original recipe. See below!
