Recipe of the month: Vegan Lotus Biscoff Cupcakes

INGREDIENTS


240ml of dairy-free milk
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
210g of self-raising flour
100g of caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
15g of Lotus Biscoff cookies (crushed)
60g of sunflower oil (or melted coconut oil)
Ingredients for the buttercream
130g of dairy-free butter/margarine
400g of icing sugar
1 tablespoons of Biscoff spread
Dairy-free milk (if needed)
Lotus Biscoff cookies
Biscoff spread (Melted)

METHOD
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c fan and line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases and add half a Biscoff cookie to the bottom of each cupcake case. 

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined. Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan ‘buttermilk’.

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Mix well to combine.

Add the oil to the ‘buttermilk’ and whisk to combine. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a smooth batter. Fold in the crushed cookies.

Fill the cases 3/4 full with the batter. Make sure to tap the tins on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.

Pop the cakes into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean and they are springy to the touch.
Place the cupcakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully before frosting.
Cream the butter in a bowl, on a high speed until creamy. I use my stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment.

When your butter/margarine is creamy & light in colour, add in the icing sugar and Biscoff spread. Whizz together until fluffy & fully combined. Add a splash of dairy-free milk if too thick.
Transfer the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with an open star tip nozzle. I use a Wilton 2D piping tip.

Core the cupcakes and fill with some melted Biscoff spread (optional). To make it easier, I added the melted Biscoff to a piping bag.

Pipe a swirl of buttercream onto each cupcake. Top off with a drizzle of Biscoff spread, cookies and crumbled cookies.

Serve these cupcakes fresh or store in a sealed container in or out of the fridge, the buttercream will firm up at room temperature.

Ben and the team did an amazing job selling our house. They know the market so well and gave us the best advice throughout the whole process. We have used them before and so glad we choose to use them again. Highly recommended.

Ben, Peter and Jade. You guys are the most awesome Real Estate Agents we have ever met. We went to hundreds of open homes and met many agents throughout our search for a home, yet we would come back to you straight away for our next house. Thank you!

Alex Hewton – Malins

This is the second time we have sold with Ben and both times the result has been outstanding. On a personal level we click and its clear he actually cares about both the sellers and the buyers he is working with. The result we achieved and the sheer quantity of offers received in a dead market shows what an outstanding salesman and marketer Ben (and is his team) is.

Jason Pepping

Ben is a very personable agent. He has excellent communication and was usually available to answer any questions we had, regardless of the hour!

Ben worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to get the sale over the line. Ours was not straightforward by any means, and Ben navigated through the many twists and turns to ensure a very satisfactory outcome for us. We highly recommend Ben. 🙂
