Mouth watering cupcakes!

Hey!

These cupcakes are a personal favorite, they taste amazing with the frosting (a few natural sprinkles won't hurt either)!!

Cupcakes:

2 cups all purpose flower

1 cup sugar

3/4 Ah.Laska organic hot chocolatte mix (my secret ingrediant)

1/2 cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoons salt

Egg replacer

1 cup cold brewed coffee (if it has coffee you know it has to be good)

1 cup ricemilk

2 teaspoons vinegar

***************************************************************************

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flower a 9x13 inch pan

2. In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, Ah.Laska, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in egg replacer, coffee, rice milk, oil and vinegar. Mix until smooth, batter will be thin. Pour into pan you greased earlier.

3. Bake in the preheated oven 35 to 40 mins, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Okay, while that cools make the frosting:

2 cups Spectrum all vegetable shortening

8 cups Woodstock farms powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoons salt (be very light when adding the salt, I've learned the hard way with very salty frosting)

2 teaspoons flavororganics vannilla extract (spice it up with mint extract, or cocoa powder, or to give your frosting a dazzle with SEELECT food coloring)

As needed up to 6 fluid ounces of Silk soy creamer French vanilla flavor

**************************************************************************************

1 Cream shortening until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and continue creaming until well blended.

2. Add salt, vanilla, and Soy creamer on low speed until moistened. Add additional creamer if necessary. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.

Okay, now decorate those cupcakes and serve!!
