Orange Dreamsicle Cupcakes

4/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/3 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon orange flavor or orange extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
Line muffin tins with paper cupcake liners.

Sift the flour baking powder and salt together.
Add the sugar to the bowl.  

In a good sized bowl mix the oil, applesauce, vanilla, orange flavor, soy milk, until all the ingredients are combined.  
Add the dry ingredients and mix until there are no longer any lumps.

Fill the liners with a cupcake scoop until they are 2/3 of the way full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Let them cool on a rack.

Ice when completely cooled.

Top with Dreamsicle cream cheese icing:

2/3 cup margarine (softened)
2/3 cup vegan cream cheese (softened)
4 2/3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon orange flavor or extract
pinch of salt

Directions:
 
Cream the margarine and cream cheese together until well mixed.  Add the vanilla, orange, and salt.  Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.  If it is too thin, add a little more sugar, if it is too thick, add soy milk a teaspoon at a time until the right consistency is found.  

I like to add a little bit of orange food coloring in a stripe down the side of the pastry bag that I use for the icing to give it an orange swirl look.

Tip:
Sometimes the cream cheese icing can have a slight after taste if it is served right after it is made.  I find that this goes away after the icing has been refrigerated.  I like to ice the cupcakes after they have been cooled and then put them in the fridge to set up, then they can be tempered and served later.

1 cup (8 oz) vegan cream cheese, softened 
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy based on texture preference)

1 cup dairy free whipped topping
3/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped
Kosher or sea salt

Chocolate Topping:
1/2 cup (4 oz) semisweet chocolate, chopped up (chocolate chips will work)
2 teaspoons shortening for a ganache type of topping or 1/2 cup whipped topping can be folded in instead of shortening for a more mousse type of topping if that is preferred

Crust:
Make the pie crust first.

Filling:
Whip the dairy free whipped topping until it is as firm as possible and set aside.  
Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese with the peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla until blended.  
Fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with 1/2 cup of the chopped peanuts.
Pour the filling into the crust and smooth the top.  
Sprinkle a small amount of kosher or sea salt on top and chill for several hours to set.  
Ganache:
Melt chocolate and shortening in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until well combined.  Let cool slightly and then pour over top of the pie.  
Chill again for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle the rest of the peanuts on the top of the pie with another small sprinkling of kosher or sea salt (optional).  

Mousse:
Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted.  
Fold 1/2 cup of dairy free whipped topping into the chocolate and then spread onto the top of the pie. 
Sprinkle the rest of the peanuts on the top of the pie with another small sprinkling of kosher or sea salt (optional).
