Another Festivus miracle!
I had it all set in my mind that I wanted to make gingerbread cupcakes. However, I went to the pantry and I was out of eggs and butter. FOR SHAME. Worst home baker, ever. Anyway, I did the next best thing and came up with a VEGAN gingerbread cupcake recipe on the spot. Let it be noted that the people I handed these out to all said, "PLEASE don't become a Vegan...these are really good though." Every one of them! Man, people hate animals. Rude. Now don't get me wrong, I bow down to the altar of Paula Deen, (entirely made of butter, btw) but it IS possible to cook without animal products if need be, even if it's not my first choice.
The thing about vegan baking, for me anyway, is that you have to mask the fact that you aren't using those wonderful creamy, heavenly products, by kicking up the flavors. I'm down with that. And it works well with gingerbread, especially.
They came out really good, very moist, and I topped it with a rich chocolate frosting. Perfect for the holidays.
But you know what you should NOT make for the holidays? A cake with pie filling...and CORNUTS. What the what. I love Cornuts, but damn. This is why I'm not a Sandra Lee fan, folks. This is not baking. Not cooking. It's just...inedible. SHE'S RUINED KWANZAA.

Oh my GOD. I just fell down the Sandra Lee YouTube rabbit hole thanks to you! What a piece of work!!
I had never seen her before. Now I'm kinda glad I was in the dark. that was just horrible. The frosting sounds like it just might taste ok, but it looks like concrete. Blech.
On the other hand, your cupcakes look really good.
I thought the whole cornnut cake thing was a joke someone was telling me but it's true. TRUE!
Sandra Lee is a hack. I can't even watch her show. Plus, whenever I hear her name I start singing Grease songs even though her name is not Sandra Dee.
what the what?! sandra lee, kwanzaa?? hilarity.
Every once in a while, I catch her show and find it interesting. This time, I was so grossed out!!! What the SHIT was that thing she put together!? Ewww! I think it was the apple pie filling that killed it the most for me. Ich.
Your vegan cupcakes, however? Sound awesome! I am often out of dairy products, so I'll be keeping this recipe on hand!
I just found your blog a few days ago and I absolutely love it! My husband keeps asking me what I am laughing at. I totally agree with your Sandra Lee comments. The lady grosses me out. Also, the fact that she decorates her kitchen to match every meal she is cooking also makes my stomach turn. I am lucky if my kitchen is clean let alone coordinated with my meal!
I'm normally underwhelmed by her but not disgusted. Today I am digusted. I think I might repost that video on my blog, that's how bad it was. Thanks for the heinous find!
I clicked on the video...just in case I could see it...and it says no longer available. I have no idea who that person is.
I keep seeing trees on top of cars, but not very many Festivus poles. What's up with that?
she is disgusting and i can't STAND her way of instruction. "Next i want you to..." "Now you are going to..."
i am not doing anything, YOU are demonstrating so YOU are going to...
ugh
I'm not convinced until I try some of this said cupcakes.
I HATE Sandra Lee. She is a fake.
that cake seems like something a kid might come up with for a Home Ec assignment. I thought she was saying acorns, not corn nuts, but at any rate they looked more like Corn Pops. seriously though, NAST.
oh, and I have to say-she's a stepford wife. not the cool ones from the more recent movie, but the less technologically advanced ones from the 70s film.
What namely you're saying is a terrible mistake.
