So, I wanted to have cupcake, but without all the butter/margarine/oil/fat that comes with the frosting.
So this is what I mean with unusual and extravagant icing.
To be fair, I loved the Frosting #1π (first picture), #2π« (second picture, cupcake in the middle) and #3π π« (last picture).
The person I live with spite out the Frosting #2, did not taste the Frosting #3, but loved the Frosting #1.
The Frosting #1 is more creamy. Than the #3. And the #2 as the more fibrous texture.
I could see myself do those Frostings and cupcake soon, and would love to make that as a birthday cake for my own baby/kid.
It is technically Whole Food Plant Base Diet.
It is vegan, of course.
In the oven at 330 to 350Β°F in cupcake mold.
The Ingredients for the Cupcakes:
- ΒΎ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (could be a little bit more)
- ΒΎ cup pure maple syrup (could be less)
- ΒΌ cup pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and chia seed (does not matter which one)
2 cups whole wheat flour
ΒΌ cup sorghum flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Mix everything dry ingredients together, and to the same with the wet ingredients. Then, mix everything together.
The Ingredients for the Frosting #1 π :
* 6 Hawaiian/Okinawan purple sweet potatoes, steamed, peeled and mashed
* ΒΌ cup of water (may need less, may need more, could be swap with maple syrup)
* 1 to 2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Put everything in a food processor for it to be real smooth, or do it by hand. Mix everything together and adjust to taste.
The Ingredients for the Frosting #2 π«:
* 1 can Red beans, cooked rinsed and drained
ΒΌ cup pure maple syrup (the quantity is optional)
* 1 to 2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (the quantity is optional) (FYI: I put 2 whole vanilla beans cut in pieces, without removing the skin, plus vanilline powder, plus pure vanilla extract, and it still did not taste enough vanilla like I would have like tho)
Put everything in a food processor or a high speed blender with a tamper. You may need to add some water or more sugar and more vanilla to make it taste good.
The taste will be similar to the red bean paste in Red Bean Pancake or Red Bean Bum.
The Ingredients for the Frosting #3 π π«:
* 1 part of Frosting #1
* 1 part of Frosting #2
Mix the two parts together with a spoon.
Put the frosting of your choice on top of your freshly made cupcake. No need to wait for it to be cool down or cold, the frosting will not melt.

This should go into shitty vegan food porn. All of it is deeply upsetting
This is a great idea! Maybe calling it a spread rather than a frosting will trigger less people lol, but a sweet potato frosting or red bean frosting makes sense, they’re both used in lots of desserts. Thanks for the recipes
Is the extravagance in the room with us?
(I bet they taste great though)
Omg this is great! I love anko or any kind of sweet bean paste. I bet this would work amazing as icing π±.
Also jokes aside do try r/shittyveganfoodporn, it the best sub ever π people is amazing and you won’t hear complaints about exotic combinations.
I could inhale these, they look so yum!
This shouldβve stayed on r/shittyveganfoodporn only
Fat is flavor and mouth-feel. It makes us feel full and satisfied. I applaud your experiment but a little bit of fat would go a long way here.
These sound great thanks for sharing your recipe!
This reminds me of red bean mochis
