Dreamsicle cupcake! (vegan)

You can have your ice cream or you can turn your favorite ice cream into cake. Crazy huh? To even better it you can cupcake style that shit. Just sayin' these cupcakes were soo exciting to make I was expecting it to taste excatly like the dreamsicle pop results, it did. I couldn't believe it. :-). It pretty much is just an orange cake (which is dabombdotcom by itself), whipped cream(to get the full effect of the real ice cream)/vanilla buttercream(if you could care less and just want to eat the damn thing because it taste the same), and orange icing(pain in the ass). Of course I went ahead and did the whole thing vegan. I just veganized the recipe. When you veganize a recipe make sure you know what your dealing with and how much you are willing to test and fail. There are many different options to what can be substituted for what depending on what you are wanting from the recipe (i.e. Soft, rough, moist, fluffy..) Plus, make sure you have the best and real extracts you can g
et ahold of. Why? Because when you are baking/cooking anything vegan its not going to have the same appealing taste everything nonvegan has so you gotta up the recipe and give it extracts/spices/herbs or whatever that almost somewhat meet those high taste expectations we want. That's why. The batter was still very light and fluffy and the cake was moist and delicious. Time consuming these are. Worth the time? Yes.
