Dr Pepper Cupcakes

On 18 July, 2012 by Nicole

My sister has had a vegan diet for a while now.  She made the decision to go vegan in high school and hasn’t looked back since.  A few years back I wanted to make some cupcakes for my sister so I searched recipes that would fit her criteria.  I ended up finding one of the simplest recipes around and made them for her that night.  Well being a new vegan (and not having very much faith in me) she was skeptical of my cupcakes and would not eat one until she read all the ingredients.  I wanted to surprise her with the flavor of the cupcakes but she ruined my fun.

Now here is the easiest vegan cupcake recipe you can find.

What you need: 

  • 1 box cake mix (read the ingredients for one that is vegan)
  • 1 can soda

Pretty simple!!  I used chocolate fudge cake with Dr Pepper since it is her favorite soda.   It has been her favorite since we were kids and I really wanted to surprise her all those years ago with a Dr Pepper cupcake… She still liked them once she was satisfied they were vegan approved but it wasn’t as fun.

This time when I made them I also made Dr Pepper frosting by adding a little of the soda to the frosting.  Check out my post on Mt Dew cupcakes for a non vegan cupcake recipe.  I have only tried the vegan recipe with Dr Pepper so let me know how yours turn out if you use something else.
