Vegan Lemon Cupcakes

Sunday, April 09, 2023


Happy Easter weekend! I hope you can make the most of the long weekend with good food, all the sweet treats and some sunny spring walks outside. If you're looking for a last minute sweet treat for the day you've come to the right place! These amazingly light and fluffy lemon cupcakes are just the right level of sweet and fruity so perfect for the season. They are easy to make and pretty to look at if you want to impress family and friends - who doesn't? :)



Here's what you'll need:

250g flour
180g caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
180ml soy milk (or other dairy free)
75ml rapeseed oil
juice and zest of 1 lemon

For the icing:

200g vegan butter
1 tsp lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
200g icing sugar


Preheat your oven to 200°C.

In a big mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the cupcakes until it forms a smooth batter.

Line a muffin tray with liners and fill evenly with the cupcake batter. Give the tray a little shake to even out the mixture.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

In the meantime beat the butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and icing sugar together in a mixing bowl. Be careful not to overmix because you don't want your icing to get too runny.

Once your cupcakes are done, put them on a wire rack and leave to completely cool down before putting the icing on top.

I decorated with dried and fresh edible flowers as well as some chocolate mini eggs for Easter but you do you! :)


And that's already all there is to do! Dig in! :) 

Let me know if you give these a go and leave me a comment to tell me how you liked them :)



Lots of Love,
