These vegan cupcakes are delicious and easy to make! Perfect for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, or whenever you pink cupcakes are required! These are traditional golden vanilla cupcakes dyed pink with homemade beet food colouring. Oh and they’re vegan cupcakes, obviously. It’s really hard to find vegan food dye, and because I would rather not send you on a wild goose chase, I decided to dye these cupcakes with an ingredient we can all get our hands on; beets.
So why don’t I used red food dye? And why isn’t red food dye vegan? Carmine, also known as; Cochineal, Crimson Lake, Carminic Acid, and Natural Red #4, a is a red dye derived from tiny red scale insects. Yuck, I don’ know about you, but I’d rather not have my cupcakes with a side of bug juice. There are so many natural and yummy ways to dye your food naturally, let me know if you’d like a full post on how I dye my food blue, green and even yellow, by leaving me a comment below.
To make the food colouring we are going to peel, and chop 1 small beet, and add it to a blender or food processor with 1 tbsp water. Blend it until you have a thick red pulp. If you’re having trouble blending, add more water, 1 tbsp at a time. Strain the beet pulp, using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, over a glass bowl. Make sure you’re using glass because it will stain anything else. Discard the solids or save for a smoothie or juice, and use the juice for dying.
To make the cupcakes, start by preheating your oven to 350F and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup soy milk and 1 ½ tsp apple cider vinegar to make vegan homemade buttermilk. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cup flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. In a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup vegan butter and 2 tbsp soft coconut oil. Beat in 2 tsp vanilla extract and the vegan soy buttermilk we made until well combined. Slowly beat the flour mixture into the wet mixture until well combined. Now, using an eye dropper or something else that allows you precise control, beat in drops of beet juice one drop at a time, until you reach your desired shade of pink. Scoop the batter into prepared cupcake liners, filling the cups ⅔ of the way full and bake for 20 mins, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and the cupcake pan, and allow them cool on a wire rack completely before icing.
To make the vegan cream cheese frosting, beat 1 cup softened cream cheese and ¾ cup vegan butter in a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, until smooth. Add the 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract, and 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until smooth. Add the zest of lemon and drops of beet juice,and beat on high until light and fluffy. Add additional powdered sugar as needed to make a light and fluffy frosting. Pipe or dollop onto cooled cupcakes and decorate as desired.

Eating 12 vegan cupcakes by myself sounds like an excellent way to spend Valentines Day
they look super cute!! You *are* good at decorating!!
Im trying this recipe tomorrow! I made the pumpkin chili tonight. I am a recent convert to vegan.
You go girl!
yayyyy good job i'm so proud of you!!!!
That's awesome!
Heidi B we are all so proud of you welcome to the vegan community!
How was it??
"We are just going to add drop at a time..." And then, 5:45 LOL
Toothpakes are my FAVE!
These cupcakes look amazing!! Love the pink frosting idea!
I’m going to try these! I was a little worried when I saw “velvet” because I hate chocolate/ red velvet cake but these are doable and I have beet juice in the fridge!!
Thank you for doing natural food coloring!! 😊
I totally want to make these they look so cute!
BTW there are a couple Indian brands which are 100% vegetarian and even vegan so therefore offer 100% vegetarian (and vegan) red colouring.
Love the pretty pink color!!
I am planning on making fudgy chocolate brownies or cake. I want to use meringue into the batter to try that out. Then top it off with began Salted Caramel.
Thank you so much for this recipe! The cupcakes turned out delicious! So easy to make (although I shouldhave added more beet colouring) and turned out impeccable. Decorated with chocolate ganache and roses made of the cream according to your recipe. Exactly what I was looking for to prepare for Valentine's Day. Blessings to you!
YAAAAS I SHALL TRY THESE
I absolutely making this!
😂 love at the end when she says that James doesn’t even like cupcakes! 😂
I’m so going to try this - can’t wait!
Listen, Farrah, you're probably a better baker than you think, or could be, with more faith and practice. I _believe_ in you! These cupcakes look adorable, and the beet tint is so versatile--ombré frosting!--so TFP and have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
You can buy powdered beet online for food coloring
I love your channel and your personality, you’re such a sweet person💜
We do not celebrate Valentine's Day!... but will try the cupcakes bc i.love cake...lol..
I'm so excited to try these... they look so good! I just bought your book! 🤗😋
yummy!! thanks Candice!
those puppies!
I guess you could say you BEET your face
Nessa Silva 🤣🤣🤣
I love Valentine's Day because I love the 15th. The chocolate and flowers are cheap because people need to get rid of the V-Day stuff. I live for that since I'm buying this stuff for myself.
I love love love your cookbook!
Wowsers!! How much of the icing did you end up using for the cupcakes? All of it?
These are so similar to the ones Meghan Rienks just made in a video! Thank you for making them vegan :) and you are a great baker! at least in this video
I love cupcakes thanks
One way to get your beets in. James doesn't like cake. Well that's just wrong.
I LOVE cupcakes but I can never make them properly
Love your makeup!
These look so delicious!
I was in a "Chapters" in St Albert, Alberta, Canada and they had the Edgy Veg cookbook on their display table by the door and I freaked out!! I made my mom take a picture of me holding it :p SO EXCITING!!!
Ok, now that looks way to easy. What brand of cream cheese did you use?
Yes so quick and easy!!! No Vday plans except taking my son to martial arts class.....so we will make the cupcakes over the weekend!!!
I’m going to try this with cocoa powder and more beet juice for red velvets. 🤞🏽
If you're interested in the cupcake recipe, forward to 2:28.
Me and my bf are newly vegan and he loves wings so we are going to try and make your cauliflower wings ! Wish us luck !
I love food I’m watching this at school on the bus
So cute💖💖💖
Yum
Your not even bad! It looks so good!! Love itt!! You should try to bake more its really good, and yes you do have alot of makeup btw it looks gorgeous!!
What if you dehydrated the beets and then ground them up to a powder??? That way you would not have the additional liquid in the equation. Love your videos by the way!!
You are so cute!
Also....I starting humming Michael Jackson when you were explaining the frosting...>BEAT IT!!!
Yummy! Did the beets stain your blender?
Actually, it didn't! I washed it right away though.
Love your makeup! 💕
Can you just add cocoa powder to make these chocolate?
Vegan Muffins / cupcakes always are more dense than non vegan ones, they don't have a nice dome etc. Same with yours here. I suppose that's because of the missing egg/added oil. Maybe if one uses aquafaba one gets a different result?
I want to make these, but I'm terrible at baking aha oh well I'm going to try it anyways, thanks for the recipe ♡
Does the beets juice make the cupcakes and icing taste funny?
I NEED TO MAKE THESE,I HAVE NOTHING BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW VALINTINES DAY WAS SO CLOSE
Finally a use for beets! 😂
I didn't know blonde Zoey Deschanel existed...
Yum Yum Yum ❤️
These were really cute! Cant wait to try these some day! Can you get a very red shade using the beet colouring? (couldnt understand what she said to add to get it!)
ItsMePhoebe she said to continue added beet coloring to get red, just to remember, the more liquid (food coloring) you use, you'll have to add more sugar. I'm guessing to keep the consistency of the frosting.
For those who have tried this recipe, can you tell me if you can taste the beets in the icing? Thank u
They look cute! I hate cupcakes, for me they're just small-sized muffins, and big is always better if we're talking about sweets!! Also, I love love, so I hate Valentine's ^^ Great vid!
I only have unsweeted almond vanilla milk, will it do for the butter milk?
What stand mixer do you use?! Saving up for one and yours seems to get the sides whipped well
Can you make blue velvet cupcakes vegan they're my favorite but i'm trying the vegan life style (vegetarian)
I thought you and James were married and lived together!
Jessica Adams she just said she is married. Married couples can have roommates. :)
Can I use any other plant-based milk instead of soy milk?
Do you make your own vegan butter and cream cheese? If not what brands to you recommend ?
Francine Shea Earth Balance is a good butter and tofuti is a good cream cheese ☺️
Strange they don't use Cranberries for red food coloring.
fuck valentines day but yaaaaaas to these cupcakes!
Why does the cupcake she ate, look way better then the cupcake she made? Is it the same recipe? The cupcake she ate looked fluffy and rounded, and the frosting looked fluffy. The one she made looked dense and sunken in, and the frosting looked goopy 🤔
VirTiGo _Virgo She mentioned that her roommate made another batch and that’s the one she tried
mine melted under the heat of the lights during shooting... so we made them again. Sadly vegan cupcakes dont hold up under heat the same way normal ones do. ahhh the problems of RUclips Filming...
I'm confused I thought white sugar wasn't vegan?? can somebody explain please.
Anaïs Fisher I’ve heard that some brands of white sugar are bleached with animal bones and some aren’t
I've heard it's only beet sugar but she said she was using cane sugar that's what confused me
Wow the hair
good or bad? LOL
I am always biased, I say good or nothing at all. Reminds me of that Actress from the 80's, think she was on TV or something.
Awakened Spirit Farrah Fawcett. I saw it immediately, too. I like it, 'though, and I never cared for Fawcett's look.
will the buttermilk work with nut milks or just soy?
I want to use almond milk ? Will it work?
absolutely!
Omg i just realised who you remind me of - Zoey Dechanel! If you had black hair and bangs you'd be a spitting image of her wow (except for the eyes) even your voice reminds me of hers. Sorry if this has been said lots of times hahaha
You are so sarcastic. Come on, let's get married.
Can I use honey instead of sugar in the cupcake
Margaret Laws What?
Margaret Laws well, this is a vegan page.. & who puts vomit & bad karma in LOVE-DAY cupcakes ?? :D
If you're trying to keep the cupcakes vegan, then you wouldn't want to use honey - but there are other things you can use instead of white sugar. Google something like "healthier white sugar substitutes" and you'll find things like pure syrup (not table syrup), agave, coconut sugar, yacon, sucanat, molasses, etc. Most have their pros and cons - make a choice that works for you.
Hey you all I just stopped eating meat 6 months ago so I'm trying to learn what to eat and what not to eat so that's why I asked about the honey I'm not trying to be mean or anything I'm just learning what to eat what not to eat so that why I'm asking for help not trying to be mean or anything like that
Margaret Laws yeah honey isn’t very vegan :/ but there are many other alternatives :)
Why didn't you try the cupcakes YOU made instead of your friend's? 😕
mine melted under the heat of the lights... ahhh the problems of RUclips Filming...
Edgy Veg I I was a little disappointed because they looked cute! But I totally understand! 😊
Quick question...you said you could use turmeric to make yellow. Does it not leave a taste?
Dang I had a feeling it would be beets lol
Hi!!! I make you food every time you make a video!!! Oh and P.S. Can I have a shout out?
She reminds me of Meghan reinks
Rienks*
💖💖💖🌸😍🌹💕💋
I dare you to stop being so funny.
The cupcakes aren't pink...
Can you stop saying youre a bad baker?? Why would i want to try a recipe from someone who keeps saying that?
NOM NOM NOOOOOOM
Your jokes are cringe worthy
My problem with cupcakes is that they are not healthy, no fiber and too much sugar. I want to make some healthy cupcakes with whole grains and less sugar.
No one eats cupcakes to be healthy. Also, there is fiber in this.
So...muffins.
