INGREDIENT NOTES:
BROWN SUGAR:
- Adding brown sugar to your topping will give you a caramel flavor. Also, your cupcake topping will become sweet from using it. You can include coconut sugar as an alternative for this.
VEGAN BUTTER:
- We will use vegan butter to keep this dessert vegan. Also, this will make the glossy coating for your cupcakes by melting with the sugar. You may use coconut oil as an alternative as well.
PINEAPPLE:
- Pineapples are the main fruit for this recipe. Here, you will use smaller slices of pineapple for the topping. These will also make your cupcakes sweeter. You may use fresh pineapple if you have it.
MARASCHINO CHERRIES:
- You will include them on the topping of your cupcakes for the classic look. These will include color to your dessert as well. You can include berries as an alternative as well.
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- Adding this flour will make the shape of your dessert. This all-purpose flour will give a structure to your cupcakes. Use a gluten-free flour for an alternative if you require it.
VEGAN MILK:
- You will use milk to make the batter of your cupcakes smoother. Here, use any vegan milk like soy, oat, or almond milk as substitutes.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- Adding this to your vegan cupcakes will make them rise when it combines with baking soda. You can include lemon juice as an alternative as well.
PINEAPPLE JUICE:
- Use pineapple juice in your dessert to include moisture. This will also improve the taste of pineapple in your recipe. Add orange juice if you need another alternative as well.
