Weare dedicated to bringing you the finest specialty cake products with outstanding service. Conveniently located in the center of the Baltimore-Washington DC Metro area, we provide fresh, professionally-crafted cakes for every occasion. Plus, for those who love to bake, we have a store full of retail baking and candy supplies.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together until well-mixed. Make a slight well in the center and add the non-dairy milk, oil, lemon juice, vanilla, and almond. Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together just until no lumps remain. Stir in sprinkles (the higher amount is shown here) with a flexible spatula.
To finish: Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until lightly whipped. Dollop about 1.5 tablespoons on each cupcake and spread it out in swirls. Finish with an extra pinch of sprinkles.
Unfortunately my cupcakes did not have the fabulous bright white look with the pop of.color from the sprinkles. My cupcakes looked like murky water. They tasted very good but they were not beautiful like the plush confetti cupcake pictures shown.
Made it today. Not too bad but not great either. I used 2% dairy milk and dairy cream cheese. I needed 10 extra minutes baking time, the sprinkles in the cake were barely visible after cooking (maybe partly melted or discolored?), overall there was an odd flavor, not sure if from the frosting or from the melted sprinkles
If I made the recipe non-vegan, would it still work? Replace all the vegan options (milk, butter, cream cheese) with non vegan ones will it still turn out? And would I still need the lemon juice and almond extract if I do that?
Thank you SO much for this recipe! My oldest is allergic to eggs and we have struggled to find a good recipe for her birthday cake for years. I am super excited to try this one, your recipes are always stellar!
Sift dry ingredients into an ungreased cake tin (8 ). Make 3 impressions in the dry mixture Into one pour the vanilla, into the second put the vinegar and into the third the oil, over all pour the water. Mix with a fork till the mixture is thoroughly moistened. But do not beat. Bake in 350 degrees oven for 30 min.
I, too, am wondering about sprinkles. The basic ones I bought in the grocery store baked up fine for pretty color. However, they tasted like crunchy wax when sprinkled on top. (Yuck)
Do you have a favorite brand for decorating with?
As someone living alone, at this point in the pandemic, I have a freezer full of halved recipes of baked goods and just wanted one cupcake to eat now. Without an egg, I was able to scale down this recipe to a single cupcake and it came out great! Anyone wanting to do this:
16 g flour, 12 g sugar, 1/8 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt, 4 tsp milk, 1 1/4 tsp oil, 1/4 tsp lemon juice, 1/8 tsp vanilla, drop of almond extract. And I used a grating of nutmeg and no sprinkles. Thank you for this, the flavor is super adaptable, it would be great with a cup of tea.
I love the idea of making one cupcake! Thank you for telling me about this. I also cut down the Chocolate Dutch Baby recipe to one serving and wrote about it on that recipe. Sometimes it is so nice to just have one or two treats around but I would never have thought of one cupcake! :)
I made these with soy milk, vegan butter, and some cheap sprinkles that turned my batter brown-purple. Still tasted great though! I also added some fresh lemon juice to the vegan cream cheese frosting.
As soon as I saw this recipe posted, I knew I had to try it. And it is most definitely worth it. It was super simple and quick to put together and resulted a flavorful and moist cupcake. Definitely recommend!
This is about to come out of my oven, whipped up after putting the kids to bed because it has been a looooong, thank-goodness-we-made-it-through-another-day-of-parenting kinda day, and cake is required.
Made this yesterday and was so yummy! Actually went to the site to bring up your coconut cake recipe and was so excited to see this instead! Always looking for more nondairy recipes! Made a cake instead of cupcakes and came out great. Definitely going in to my dessert rotation.
Minimalist Baker already published an almost identical recipe years ago. You need to check for existing recipes before you start. And then cite them. It is basic research 101. Nowhere did I say that you do not cite in other recipes. You do, I know this. That is why I was surprised at how under researched this recipe is.
I made this last night. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 913 pan. It took about 30 minutes to cook at 350. The only change I made to the recipe was to use dairy milk instead of vegan, and topped it with whipped cream.
she needs to cite. she did not invent nor develop this recipe. it is called giving proper credit to those who have already done the work. a quick google search would have showed that vegan food bloggers had already developed a vegan funfetti cupcake recipe. when someone has already done the work, you credit them. you may build off of or adjust, but you always credit an original source. This is not a mean comment nor an attack on Deb, just a simple request that she simply acknowledge the work already done.
Made these with my sprinkle loving 4 year old daughter this weekend. Our only change was we used regular, dairy filled, cream cheese for the frosting. We made a batch on Saturday morning. When I am writing this it is Monday morning and there are no more cupcakes. :)
We made these over the weekend using dairy milk, regular cream cheese and canola oil. My four year old and I whipped the batter up in ten minutes and the whole family was enjoying within the hour. Hands down delicious! We will definitely be making these on rotation!
I just made this and it is decidedly scrummy. I did not do dairy free. I used milk and cream cheese although I stuck with the oil ( I love oil based cakes. So moist and never dry out). I am adding this to my repertoire of cakes I can make at the drop of a hat (the chocolate olive oil cake is in this category). So happy to have another treat to give my 2 boys who have been real troopers during this pandemic mess. They may not be able to see their friends but they will have cake! Thanks Deb!!!
Oh these look delicious! My girls love anything with sprinkles. When we travel, they pick anything out just because it has sprinkles. This looks like an easy recipe we could try in our RV. Thanks for the recipe.
I used oat milk and oil. No changes to anything. . .the color was the thing I was saddest about as the photo here looks so cute and i LOVE white cake. They looked and tasted more like sweet cornbread. . .
Has anyone tried making the batter in advance? I will be using dairy options (my friend for whom I am making this eats dairy just not eggs) and I wanted to know if anyone had prepped the batter a day in advance? I am thinking of doubling the batter and baking one batch today (for ourselves) and another tomorrow for my friend.
These made the perfect dessert for a 76th birthday supper this evening. Because the recipe has no egg, it was very easy to scale down to four cupcakes for our two-person celebration. I used 1% milk and safflower oil and baked for 15 minutes; the texture was just right. Because they looked so cute with their confetti-ed tops, I skipped the frosting and thought they tasted delicious on their own. How nice to know I can come up with such a festive treat with so little time and effort!
Not sure if anyone has already said this, but use the more stick shaped rainbow sprinkles, NOT the cute little multicolored ball sprinkles. I used the little ball shaped ones and they dissolved into the batter and turned it a gross gray color :p
These were so good! I used coconut oil and oat milk and baked the for about 22 minutes. I definitely recommend letting them cool all the way, I got impatient and tried one before it was cool and the bottom was a bit soggy. They are even better the next day. Another great Smitten recipe!
Thank you SO much for this recipe! I love to bake but have needed to be dairy & egg-free while nursing my baby daughter who has some serious food sensitivities. This recipe is delicious, as all of your are, and I am so excited to have a treat I can make for celebrations that my whole family AND I can enjoy.
Add me to the list of people who got gummy cupcakes. Used unsweetened oat and almond milks, sunflower oil and measured everything on the scale/to the mL. Was super careful not to overmix. And all the color came off the sprinkles. 5 year old was thrilled with the results, me not so much.
I made them but since I did not have almond extract, I added Mango essence, which I had on hand LOL and lime zest! Then instead of icing, I used a good quality, gourmet cotton candy. Some kids were really happy! BTW I loved the texture and the moistness of the cake! Thank you Deb! You are an inspiration
I love this recipe but as soon as I put my (target brand) sprinkles in, they started to bleed and turned the cupcakes purple! Is there a particular brand of sprinkles I should be using or something I should do to them beforehand? Thank you!
I made this recipe as cupcakes and they were a huge hit! I made two tweaks. I added some powdered dehydrated strawberries to the frosting by just replacing some of the powdered sugar with the strawberry powder. About a third. It made the frosting a pretty pink and really brought a fun strawberry flavor to the party. I also added a 1/2 tsp of sea salt to the frosting. I made the cupcakes the day before and put them in the fridge. I made the frosting day of and took everything separate to a party and added the frosting and sprinkles right before serving.
My son wants a graham cracker cake of this birthday this year and it needs to be vegan. Would this recipe work by replacing half the flour with graham cracker crumbs like you do in your graham cracker cupcakes? I was also considering replacing some of the sugar for brown sugar. Thank you!
