Veganomicon / Vegan Cupcakes Take over the World

[Guest guest]

These 2 books are not yet released over here but I have the possibility

of pre-ordering them on Amazon UK. Has anyone got them? What do you

think? Are they worth getting? Have you enjoyed what you have cooked

from them? Unfortunately they do not have the look inside option on the

Amazon site.

TIA

I'm not vegan but have had several cupcakes from Vegan

Cupcakes Take over the World and hands down they are

the BEST CUPCAKES I HAVE EVER EATEN, even in

comparison to non-vegan cupcakes. Although the

tiramisu were my favorite by far, here is the recipe

for the s'mores one (published in <a

href= " http://www.satyamag.com/oct06/cupcake.html " >Satya</a>,

if you want to try it

out.

 

S’mores Cupcakes

 

3 & #8260;4 C. Brown Sugar

1 & #8260;2 C. Canola Oil

2 T. Molasses

1 & #8260;4 C. Soy Yogurt

1 1 & #8260;4 C. Soymilk

1 t. Vanilla Extract

1 C. All-Purpose Flour

1 t. Baking Powder

1 & #8260;2 t. Baking Soda

1 & #8260;2 t. Cinnamon, ground

1 & #8260;4 t. Salt

1 & #8260;2 C. Graham Cracker Crumbs

 

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin pan with cupcake

liners.

 

2. Mix brown sugar, oil, molasses, yogurt, soymilk and

vanilla in a large bowl.

 

3. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon,

and salt into a separate bowl and mix. Add graham

cracker crumbs and mix it up.

 

4. Add dry ingredients to the wet in three batches,

mixing well after each addition.

 

5. Fill cupcake liners full. Bake for 22 to 25

minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center

of one comes out clean. Let cool completely before

decorating.

 

Toppings

6 Graham Cracker Rectangles, broken in half

Extra Graham Cracker Crumbs

 

Quick Melty Ganache

3 T. Soy Creamer or Soymilk

1/3 C. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

 

Heat soy creamer in a small saucepan over medium heat

til just about to simmer. Remove from heat; add

chocolate chips and stir til chocolate is completely

melted and creamer is incorporated. Set aside and

allow to cool for 10 minutes. With a spatula scoop

into a prepared pastry bag or plastic bag with the tip

chopped off, or drizzle haphazardly with fork. Quick

Melty Ganache will set when fully cooled.

 

Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting

1 & #8260;2 C. Non-Hydrogenated Shortening

1 & #8260;2 C. Non-Hydrogenated Margarine (we use Earth

Balance)

3 1 & #8260;2 C. Confectioners’ Sugar, sifted if clumpy

1 1 & #8260;2 t. Vanilla Extract

1 & #8260;4 C. Plain Soymilk or Soy Creamer

 

Beat shortening and margarine together until well

combined and fluffy. Add sugar and beat for about 3

more minutes. Add vanilla and soymilk, beat for

another 5 to 7 minutes or so until fluffy.

 

To Assemble

Spread or pipe a thick layer of Vegan Fluffy

Buttercream Frosting onto each cupcake. We like to use

a wide decorating tip to create a swirly mountain of

yumminess. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the

frosting. Drizzle with ganache or sprinkle with shaved

chocolate and stick a graham cracker into each

cupcake. You can eat immediately for the authentic

s’mores warm chocolate thing or allow to set. It

tastes yummy either way.

Shirley,

 

Would you mind if I passed this email on to some of my non-Veg groups

with your comments attached?

I'd love them to see that something Veg could be considered better than non

Veg.

 

Thanks

 

Sam

Sam,

 

Please do! The Tiramisu

recipe was amazing! Any time I can let people

know that becoming veg absolutely does not mean the

end of good food, I am happy to oblige. I prefer to

show people how good you can still eat rather then do

too much preaching. So many people have the wrong

idea. The best was when I ordered the vegan meal on a

flight I took while my friend had the regular meal.

When the food came, mine was this amazing delicious

indian curry dish while his was a plain gray burger on

a bun in a bag. The envy in his eyes was priceless!
