Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vanilla soy milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • For the Frosting:
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup Margarine recommended: Earth Balance Organic Soy-Free Non-Hydrogenated Buttery Spread
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners
  • In the bowl of a mixer add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt, mix on low until combined-less than a minute. In a separate bowl stir together the soy milk, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and espresso until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the mixer bowl containing the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well blended.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the lined cupcakes, and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean-it's ok if they're a little moist.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool, once they are, slice the top 1/3 of each and spread with frosting and a few strawberry slices. Place the top back on, add some frosting and a strawberry.

For the frosting:

  • While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting. Combine the confectioners' sugar, margarine, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. With the mixer running, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until the desired buttercream consistency is reached
