Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Here’s how to make them…

For the cupcake mixture:

  • 300g self-raising flour
  • 200g light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground clove
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 300ml unsweetened soya milk
  • 300ml sunflower oil
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract

For the frosting:

  • 300g icing sugar
  • 150g vegetable fat
  • 150g dairy free butter
  • 25g sprinkles
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Method:

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 200 degrees (gas mark 6)
  • Line a cupcake tin with 12 paper cases and set to one side
  • Add all of the dry cupcake mixture ingredients to a bowl
  • Add all of the wet cupcake mixture ingredients to a measuring jug
  • Pour the wet cupcake mixture ingredients in to the dry cupcake mixture ingredients and stir to combine
  • Using a tablespoon, evenly divide the batter between the 12 paper cases
  • Put the cupcake tin in the pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer can be inserted in the centre of each cupcake and removed cleanly
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and set to one side
  • While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. Add all of the frosting ingredients, apart from the sprinkles, to a bowl and stir to combine. Loosen the mixture with a little soya milk to reach your desired consistency
  • Once cooled, remove the cupcakes from the tin. Add the frosting to the top of each cupcake using a pallet knife or a piping bag
  • Decorate with the sprinkles for a final flourish

Most sprinkles aren’t suitable for vegans as they contain additives dervied from beeswax, gelatin and shellac. There are lots of stores online which sell vegan sprinkles.
