Vegan Angel Food Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting

I could not find a single recipe for Vegan Angel Food Cupcakes that was not an Angel Food mix....Even Martha Stewart, the kitchen and etiquette goddess who has never failed me, uses a mix for hers!

I found a box of Fat Free Angel Food Mix that is vegan. Simply add 1 3/4 cups water and beat until smooth, creamy, fluffy. I used cupcake liners and baked on 375 for just 20 minutes, and they are light and perfect!



Vegan Strawberry Frosting

Makes about 3 cups

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) dairy-free soy margarine
  • 3 1/2 cups organic confectioners' sugar
  • 3 T. all-fruit strawberry preserves
  • 1/4 t. vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring

Preparation:

1. In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, cream the dairy-free soy margarine until well blended and "fluffy." Add the confectioners' sugar gradually, starting with a low speed setting and moving up to a medium speed setting once all has been added, and mix until well blended. Add the vanilla extract and strawberry preserves, and mix until the frosting is smooth and creamy. I used a few drops of red food coloring to get a brighter shade of pink? And who can resist candy sprinkles for a fun party feel?! Use for icing dairy-free cakes and cupcakes!
