Cooking instructions
* Step 1
If using any other egg replacer you'll need to add 1 tsp of xanthan gum to your dry ingredients. My egg replacer already has xanthan gum in it
* Step 2
Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line a 12 hole cupcake tin with paper liners
* Step 3
Mix the flour, starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan if using together in a large bowl
* Step 4
Mix the sugar, milk, mixed egg replacer, oil, vanilla and lemon juice in another
* Step 5
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and beat smooth
* Step 6
Pour into the cupcake liners, 3/4 full, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until nicely domed and a toothpick tests clean
* Step 7
Let cool completely on a wire rack
* Step 8
Meanwhile put the icing sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla and coffee in a bowl and beat together
* Step 9
Beat until smooth. If you like your icing thicker just add extra icing sugar
* Step 10
Chill for an hour while the cupcakes cool, then frost them
* Step 11
These are best eaten the same day you make them. You can part freeze them, then individually double wrap in clingfilm and continue freezing them in a lidded container, then defrost unwrapped as required
* Step 12
You can leave out the cocoa as I've done (I discovered I forgot to buy more....) for a plain coffee icing. I actually mixed 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed through my icing instead of adding extra icing sugar to compensate and it gave a great speckled effect and texture
