Pro Tips/FAQs

Can we make them vegan?

Yes, of course, you can make these vanilla cupcakes vegan. Replace the dairy products with plant-based ingredients. Instead of milk use almond milk and like so.

How to store these cupcakes?

Store the unfrosted cupcakes in the refrigerator for a week or freeze them for up to a month. defrost and thaw before using again.

What’s the shelf life of these cupcakes after frosting?

If the frosting is done, they should be consumed within two days, stored refrigerated.

Can you suggest any alternative for yougurt?

You can replace yoguet with some applesauce. There won’t be any difference in texture and you will have a nice subtle flavor of apples in it.

Can we use olive oil?

I have always baked them using sunflower oil as it doesn’t have any odor/smell. Olive oil on the other hand has a slight smell. I have not tried baking with olive oil but I guess it should be ok to use it.
