I am a Vegetarian and have been for a very long time, I also do not like eggs and rarely consume milk. I do however LOVE cupcakes. So I have created my own recipe for cupcakes that is working well, the cakes are yummy and light and oh so cupcakey good.. and they are Vegetarian..Vegan even as there are no animal products in them.
If you are interested this is my recipe. (please note it has worked well for me, and we like them.. do not blame me if yours dont work out!!)
Feel free to share your own Vegan recipes in the comments too.
