Today I made the most delicious cupcakes! It was my first time making vegan cupcakes and also my first time to make or eat a red velvet cake! The verdict is that I love red velvet & i think i may favor vegan cake even better than regular. It was surprisingly amazing!!

ps: i didn't use vegan icing- i got lazy! But there are some wonderful recipes online!
Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes Adapted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World Makes about 22 cupcakes
Update: Because some commenters are concerned about the vegan-ness of red dye, let me clarify: some, but not all red food coloring is made from insects. Cochineal/Carmine is made from beetles (sometimes labeled E120). Red #40 is derived from coal. If you’re concerned about ingredients in red dye being vegan or not, just read the label.
Cake 2 cups soy milk 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 4 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2 ounces red food coloring 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add vinegar to soy milk, and set aside to curdle. Sift flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add vegetable oil, food coloring, and vanilla extract to the curdled soy milk, and mix. Pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20 minutes or until done.
