Easy Vegan Cupcake Recipe
Over the weekend I made cupcakes for my friend Robot’s birthday. Normally when I make vegan cupcakes, I whip out my copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I was lazy and the decision to bake was a last minute one, so I made easy vegan cupcakes.
Instructions for Easy Vegan Cupcakes
- buy a box of cake mix. check ingredients to ensure that its vegan (not all of them are).
- normally mixes call for adding some combination of milk/water, oil, and eggs. instead, replace these with an equal volume of A) sprite or some other ‘clear’ pop for white/lighter cakes, or B) coke or some other ‘darker’ pop for chocolate/darker cakes
- bake as you normally would
Done! Seriously, stupid easy and you don’t need to have any fancy ingredients in your pantry.
I made chocolate root beer cupcakes. The base is a chocolate cake mix and I used Dr. Pepper as the liquid. The icing your standard butter cream icing made with earth balance margarine (vegan of course), icing sugar, a touch of almond milk, and some root beer flavor.

These sound delish! Root Beer cupcakes would be fantastic!! Being vegan is just a bonus in my books!
Jenna, I bought the root beer flavor from Golda’s in Mississauga. They have a giant online store, so you’d probably be able to order some.
