August 25, 2012 Incredible (and vegan!) vanilla cupcakes August 25, 2012/ Em-i-lis Perhaps the best vanilla cupcake I've ever had. Seriously! A good white cake is all the better when made with oil, not butter. Just look at that crumb- so light, so flavorful. Aah! (Note: this frosting is a basic buttercream so is not vegan)
