Each muffin cup should be filled about 2/3 with batter and bake for about 25 minutes (until the cupcakes rise and become golden brown).

After it’s creamed, add 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until it becomes fluffy.

Chocolate Chip and Strawberry Cupcakes

For the romantic and fruity cupcakes cream together in a large bowl half a cup of earth balance and 1 cup of sugar and use the electric mixer for 3 to 5 minutes. Personally, I like mixing up the ingredients with a Kenwood Chef, but you can use your personal favorites. Add half a cup of applesauce (1/4 cup at a time) and beat well.

Chocolate Chip and Strawberry Cupcake

In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of unbleached all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and half a teaspoon of salt. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with 1/3 cup of soy milk and fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, sliced strawberries and chocolate chips with a rubber spatula. Fruits and chips you can add according to your desire. Fill the cupcake liners up to half a size and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

For the chocolate frosting all you have to do is mix 6 tablespoons of earth balance and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract together with your mixer. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of confectioners’ sugar and ¾ cups of cocoa powder. After the dry ingredients have been fully integrated, slowly add 1/3 cup of soy milk to the mix. You can add more milk until you achieve desirable consistency. Beat until creamy and frost!
