Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups (185g) plain flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (200g) caster sugar
  • ⅓ cup (35g) cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (250ml) almond milk
  • ⅓ cup (85ml) flavourless oil (peanut or grapeseed)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
For the glaze:
  • 1 ¼ cup (150) icing sugar
  • ¼ cup (25g) cocoa
  • Food colour gels
Instructions
  1. Lightly grease a non-stick cupcake tray, and preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Place the flour, salt, cocoa, and baking powder into a large bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Heat the almond milk until it’s just warm, and then stir in the oil and vinegar, and the add to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
  4. Divide the batter between the cupcake holes. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until springing back when touched lightly. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from the tin, and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. To make the glaze place ¾ cup of the icing sugar, along with the cocoa into a small bowl, and add 2 tbsp water. Stir together, and add a tiny bit more water, until you reach a thick glaze consistency. Dip the tops of the cooled cupcakes into the glaze, and place on a big piece of baking paper.
  6. Place the remaining icing sugar into a clean bowl, and add 1 tbsp water, again working to a thick, glazy consistency. Divide the mix between three bowls, and dye to your preferred colours. Flick the different coloured glazes over the cakes, and then leave to set for an hour or so.
