Easy to make and delicious vegan vanilla cupcakes recipe. These basic cupcakes are great as is with a simple vanilla or chocolate frosting.
Today's post is for 'Cooking from Cookbook Challenge', an event started by Valli @ Cooking4allSeasons. This basic vegan cupcake is my go-to recipe and I was surprised that I haven't posted it here yet. I have made these a number of times and they have never failed me. Recipe is from 'Vegan Cupcakes take over the World' by Isa Chandra & Terry Hope.
I made these recently for my son's birthday and took pictures to post them. This is a multipurpose, no-nonsense cupcake that is great to bake for birthdays, bake sales and baby showers.

I have always been scared to try vegan baking. I have tried eggless and I just like the comfort of knowing there is diary and eggs in my cakes. But I might just take your recommendation and try this cupcake. Looks simple enough. Have you tried substituting apple cider vinegar with plain vinegar? Does it work?
