Non-Red Red Velvet


So lately I have been baking with vanilla extract acquired during my crazy trip to Mexico that my mother kindly bought for me. Let me just say that this extract is intense, and turns everything brown.

That is why these red velvet cupcakes I made as belated birthday baked goods for Matt and Sooz came out looking like light chocolate cupcakes. 


I switched up the recipe a bit and though these came out slightly "chewier" in texture than my normal cupcakes, I still think they kinda kicked butt. The "cream cheese" frosting was yum.

Did I mention that they're vegan?

Dear Matt and Sooz: I did not tell you that they were vegan because I didn't want to freak you out. Hope you never noticed and that you still enjoyed them in spite of my covert operations.
