I’m a naked vegan cupcake. Click me to go to the Vegan Icing Recipe.

Who doesn’t love cake?  This vegan cake is soft, delicious, and easy to decorate.  Not only that you don’t need eggs or milk.  This also makes the best cupcake as the sugar makes a nice outer shell to decorate and crumb free.

Give it a try and maybe you to will be saying “Let them eat cake” .
