  • 2 tablespoon(s) lemon juice

  • 2 - 3 tablespoon(s) Champagne or sparkling wine

Instructions
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F (180C). Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners, or lightly grease the pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until the batter just comes together, donโ€™t over mix. Evenly divide batter among the liners. Bake 18 - 20 minutes until the tops are slightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, mix the powdered sugar, vegan butter, vegetable shortening, 2 tablespoons of Champagne, and vanilla extract together with a stand or hand mixer. If needed add another tablespoon of Champagne until desired consistency is reached. Decorate cupcakes however you like then add sparkly sprinkles for some extra pizazz!
