I'm not a fan of cupcakes but do occasionally make a sponge cake with plant based butter cream minus all the sugar.
Flora (either original of buttery) will give good results. I would recommend you to use 1/2 Flora and 1/2 Stork margerine to obtain
the best result as the latter will give you a denser texture.

Thanks I’ll have a look in Asda today, is it a separate kind? I know the tubs have buttermilk in. But I think there’s a wrapped version too?

I think it's the wrapped version. Just check the ingredients before buying.
I'd love to see your pix as cupcakes always look so inviting.

You can also use Trex for baking. It makes very light and crispy pastry. You can also use it (50 %) for making buttercream.
I did use an electric whisk, it just kind of moved round the bowl in one clump though. Not like regular buttercream. Not sure if I should add some vegan milk maybe
it seemed very rubbery in texture. But like I said I haven’t tasted them yet!!

You have to whisk the mixture for quite a long time before it becomes a bit smooth. That is due to the high sugar content. You could have added a few drops of pb milk.
Delicious. Everyone thought so. All my non vegan family and children etc couldn’t tell. Still going to work on getting the buttercream lighter but they were really lovely! Thank you for your help. Making them again tomorrow@Baking1289; So what's the verdict ?

Great. Just beat the cream until it is light and fluffy. Make sure that the fat is at room temperature before you start whisking.
The second attempt was perfect and “buttercream” was lovely light and yummy!!

That's good to know. Buttercream is quite easy to make as long as you have the right ingredients.
So, what's next?
Well I’ve now got a go to chocolate cake recipe. So will try out some other flavours now or maybe bigger cakes
Have you ever baked before ? Tea breads and pies are easy and delicious to make.
