Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 7 paper liners and spray lightly with cooking oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond milk and vinegar.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Beat in the olive oil and sugar into the milk/vinegar mixture.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat until combined.
- Reserve 1 cup of the batter. Mix in 1 tablespoon raspberry extract and the red food coloring into the reserved batter.
- Bake the reserved batter in non-stick foil lined loaf pan for 20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Fill the paper liners 2/3rds the way with the remaining batter.
- Once the red cake comes out of the oven. Remove from the loaf pan and cut out 7 hearts. Note: If you are having trouble with this, push down the cake or even push the cake remnants into the heart cookie cutter to create the hearts.
- Set the hearts straight up and down into the paper liners. Remember what direction you put them in, so you know what direction to bite/cut into the cupcakes to get the heart shape.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cupcakes are set. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese and butter together until loose and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract. Beat in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
- Put your frosting into a pastry bag to prepare for decorating. Decorate as desired.
