Veganuary 2021 week 2 + Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes recipe

Veganuary Week 2 update. We have been without animal products for 15 whole days now. I'll admit, this week was heavy on homemade vegan brownies, but there were a few vegetables too!

VEGAN VANILLA CUPCAKES:
http://maverickbaking.com/vegan-vanilla-cupcakes/

INGREDIENTS
For the vegan vanilla cupcakes:
- 350ml (1 ½ cups) non-dairy milk (I use Oatly oat milk)
- 120g (8 tbsp) melted vegan butter/margarine
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 250g (1 ¼ cups) caster sugar
- 250g (scant 1 ¼ cups) self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Pinch of salt

For the vegan vanilla frosting:
- 200g (13 ½ tbsp) vegan butter/margarine
- 400g (3 ⅓ cups) icing sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract, or the seeds from ½ a vanilla pod.

INSTRUCTIONS
For the vegan vanilla cupcakes:
1) Preheat your oven – 220 C / 200 C fan / 400 F / gas mark 6 – and line a 12-hole cupcake tin with liners.
2) In a large bowl, measure together your sugar, flour, raising agents, and salt.
3) In a medium bowl or jug, whisk together your milk, melted butter, vinegar and vanilla.
4) Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined into a wet cake batter. Whisk just long enough to remove any lumps but not too much, as this can cause a tough cake!
5) Spoon your batter evenly between the 12 cases, you may have a wee drop leftover.
6) Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, before reducing the heat – 180 C / 160 C fan / 350 F / gas mark 4 – and baking for a further 20-22 minutes. The cupcakes should be lightly golden, risen, and firm to the touch.
7) Remove the tin from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool completely. Meanwhile, make your frosting!

For the vegan vanilla frosting:
1) In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla until you have a white fluffy frosting. This can take up to 10 minutes by hand, or up to 5 with an electric mixer.
2) Spoon or pipe your frosting onto your cooled cupcakes, and decorate however you like.
3) Enjoy!

VEGAN DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
[link coming soon!]

INGREDIENTS
- 225g (8 oz) min. 63% dark chocolate, plus extra for decoration (I use Cocoa Runners, link below)
- 120g (8 tbsp) vegan butter/margarine
- 250g (1 ¼ cups) caster sugar or soft brown sugar
- 150g (½ cup) vegan soy-based yoghurt (such as Alpro)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 80g (rounded ½ cup) plain flour
- 60g (rounded ⅓ cup) cocoa powder (I use Cocoa Runners, link below)
- Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS
1) Preheat your oven – 160 C / 140 C fan / 325 F / gas mark 3.
2) Grease and line a 20 x 20cm (8 x 8in) or 20 x 30cm (8 x 12in) tin.
3) Weigh out your chocolate and butter/margarine together in a heatproof bowl.
4) Using either a microwave in 30 second blasts, or setting the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, melt your chocolate and butter/margarine together until smooth.
5) In another large bowl, whisk together your sugar, yoghurt and vanilla.
6) Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar/yoghurt bowl and mix well to combine.
7) In a small bowl, stir together your flour, cocoa and salt.
8) Tip this into your chocolatey mixture and stir gently until you have a sumptuously dark and smooth brownie batter.
9) Pour the brownie batter into your prepared tin.
10) Top the batter with buttons or broken chunks of dark dairy free chocolate.
11) Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. By this point you should be able to shake the tin without seeing a jiggle in the middle!
12) Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin. Patience isn’t fun, but it’s worth it.
13) Slice your brownies into 15-20 pieces.
14) Enjoy!
