Eye-Catching Vanilla Vegan Cupcakes

Just like mac and cheese or peanut butter and jelly, vanilla and chocolate are seemingly made for each other. While the great debate has always focused on which flavour trumps, we say mix ‘em together for the best of both worlds. 

What makes these adorable cakes even greater is that they’re fully customisable in terms of colour. Choose whichever Super Latte powder you’re vibing with for a colour pop that reflects your creative kindred spirit. The subtle hints of latte will only enhance the central vanilla flavour. Or pipe on the super latte coloured buttercream and watch as worlds collide in this dynamic duo. Be sure to lick the beaters and bowl clean, after all, this step if half the fun!
