S'mores And Coffee Cupcakes!



I just made these today! S'mores and Coffee/Espresso cupcakes. They both came out great and look cute too. They were also pretty easy to make.

Vegan S'mores Cupcakes:
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs (I used cinnamon&sugar grahams)

Preheat oven to 350 bake 18-20 minutes. Take out, let cool
I just used a basic vanilla frosting to top these, then garnished with some chocolate shavings, more graham cracker crumbs, and a medium chunk of graham!


Vegan Coffee/Espresso Cupcake:
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons of instant ground coffee

Preheat oven to 350 bake for 18-20 minutes. Take out, let cool.

Coffee Frosting:

1/2 cup earth balance
1/2 cup shortening
3 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup soy milk
3 tablespoons of very very strong coffee

For the coffee to put in the frosting, i put 3 tablespoons of instant ground coffee and added 5 tablespoons of hot water. If the frosting isn't stiff enough, just keep adding confectioners' sugar until you're happy with the consistency.

I also garnished the tops with a dark chocolate covered espresso bean!
