Cooking, Yummy Recipes

I believe in a thing called love

Alcohol & cupcakes?! Who woulda thunk it. I’d like to send a shout-out to the writers of ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World’ for this kick ass recipe. I heart you ladies for taking two of my favorite things and combining them into one glorious package.

Here’s the recipe for anyone who loves cupcakes (and/or liquor) as much as I do.

1/4 cup lime juice
1 1/2 tsp lime zest (1 lime)
1 cup soy milk (plain or vanilla)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp tequila
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, lime zest, soy milk, oil , tequila, vanilla and sugar.
In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to lime mixture and stir until just combined. Divide evenly into muffin tins.
Bake for 20-24 minutes, until a tester comes out clean and the cakes spring back when lightly pressed.

Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting

Tequila and Lime Frosting
1/4 cup nonhydrogenated shortening, softened (or butter for you non-lactards)
1 tbsp soymilk
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp tequila
2+ cups confectioners’ sugar
coarse sugar for “rims”

Cream together shortening, soymilk, lime juice, tequila, and 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar. Add in more sugar as needed to make frosting stiff, but spreadable.

Spread on cupcakes and roll the edges in a small amount of coarse, colored sugar. Then enjoy!!!
