Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180c Gas mark 4, 350F, and line your cupcake/muffin tray with 12 muffin cases.
2. In a small bowl mix the Soya Milk with the cider vinegar together and set aside for 8- 10 minutes
3. In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients with a spatula until they are fully combined.
4. Add the Soya milk mixture and oil, then using a metal spoon quickly mix everything for about 20 seconds until the ingredients are combined but the batter is still a bit lumpy.
5. Tap the bowl onto your work surface 2 or 3 times to stop the raising agents from working too quickly. You will see some bubbles pop, this is normal.
6. Carefully spoon the mixture equally into the 12 muffin cases and then you will have to tap the muffin tray down on your surface again to release some of the air bubbles.
7. Place in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. the muffins will be firm to touch on the top.
8. Once Baked cool the muffins in the tin for around 15 minutes on a wire rack, then decant the muffins and allow them to cool completely.
Now let’s make the buttercream.
10. Place the non-dairy spread and the Sugar and Crumbs Cherry Bakewell Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar into your mixing bowl, it may be better to now use your electric mixer as you want the buttercream to be light and fluffy.
11. Mix slowly at first until all the ingredients have clumped together, then turn the mixer up to high speed for 30 seconds.
12. Using a Wilton 1M piping tip you can pipe rose Swirls on top of the Muffins and add a fresh cherry to decorate or a glacé cherry if you prefer.
