DIRECTIONS
For the Cake
1. Set the oven at 350º and line a one-dozen cupcake pan (I spray my liners with oil to prevent sticking when you eat them.)
2. Sift together the dry ingredients not including the sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and vinegar together.
4. Mix your sugar, oil, extracts and beet juice.
3. Add the soymilk/vinegar and mix until combined.
4. Fold wet into the dry ingredients. Then use a mixer to get out the lumps 1-2 minutes.
5. Fill the cupcake pan and bake 20-22 minutes, cupcakes will be reddish brown.
The Frosting
Cream the vanilla, cream cheese and butter together. Hand mix the sugar a little at a time to prevent dust. Add the milk to improve texture. Use a hand mixer to whip it to a nice even consistency. Continue to add sugar or milk til you have nice stiff peaks.
After assembly I like to do a little cocoa powder to garnish.
