Grapefruit Cupcakes

Cake Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup soy milk
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2/3 cup agave nectar
• 1/3 cup safflower oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of fine sea salt
• 3-4 drops of Grapefruit essential oil

Frosting Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese (or Tofutti)
• 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 stick of butter, softened (or Earth Balance)
• 3 drops of Grapefruit essential oil

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12 cup muffin tin or 24 mini muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Combine milk and vinegar in a medium bowl until mixture bubbles. Add agave nectar, oil, and vanilla and stir.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.
4. Pour batter into muffin tin and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean and the tops are slightly springy when pressed. Cool the cupcakes before frosting.

For Frosting:

Cream together then put in pastry bag or zip lock bag to frost the cupcakes.

Substitution Tip: If you don't have all the ingredients for the cupcake recipe, a regular white or yellow cake box mix also tastes good, but don't forget to add the Grapefruit essential oil.
