Vegan Tiramisu Cupcakes

January 17, 2017 By Gretchen 12 Comments

Finally! Tiramisu that does not require a fork or a plate!

Vegan Tiramisu Cupcakes ~ a great way to get your tiramisu fix on the go!

As many of you know Tiramisu is a decadent Italian dessert that resembles a trifle in that is layered cream, coffee, sponge cake and more cream.

Here I have taken those amazing flavors and packed it all into a cupcake!

Tiramisu Cupcakes

A new recipe for the most moist, fluffy and light as air Vanilla Sponge Cake you will ever try, soaked with coffee infused simple syrup and topped with 3 different icings.

Tiramisu is made with Mascarpone Cheese, but  I wanted to keep this all vegan and the closest match is going to be Cream Cheese.

Needless to say this cupcake was a perfect hit with my Vegan Cream Cheese Icing Recipe, Mocha Buttercream, and of course I had to get my chocolate fix in there with a tiny splash of fudge swirl!

You can of course use just one or all three icings as you wish.

This is a Building On Recipes project so you will have to prepare the icings ahead of time.

In the video tutorial below I am just showing the making of the cupcake recipe and coffee syrup.

So just click the links below to grab whichever icing recipe you plan to use and you can easily make that up while the cupcakes are baking.

For the Vegan Cream Cheese Icing

For the Vegan Mocha Buttercream ~ you will add 3 Tablespoons of instant coffee powder dissolved in 2 Tablespoons hot water and then add 4 ounces melted chocolate to the last stage of mixing the buttercream, be sure all additions are cooled

For the Vegan Fudge Icing ~ and of course you will substitute earth balance for the butter and corn syrup for the honey in this recipe

  2. Combine the flax meal with the hot water and let stand for about 5 minutes to thicken
  3. Add the vinegar to the soy milk to sour
  4. Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt
  5. Cream the earth balance with the sugar until light and fluffy and this may take about 3-5 minutes on medium to high speed
  6. Add the thickened flax paste while mixing on medium speed, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to incorporate evenly, add the vanilla extract
  7. Add about ⅓ of the flour to the creamed mixture then add half of the soured milk
  8. Add another ⅓ of the flour and then the remaining sour milk
  9. Add the last amount of flour and mix just to combine evenly.
  10. Scoop batter into lined cupcake molds and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 minutes then turn the oven down to 350°F for the remaining time, approximately 10 minutes more or until springy to the touch when you gently press the centers
  11. Meanwhile prepare the coffee simple syrup bu bringing the water and sugar to a boil and let it boil for about 2 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and add the instant coffee and optional coffee extract, cool in the refrigerator
  13. Once the cupcakes have cooled brush each one with coffee simple syrup then ice with your cream cheese icing, mocha buttercream and fudge swirl as shown in the video
  14. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and garnish with optional chocolate decor and chocolate covered coffee bean

    Please help! Every time I’ve tried this recipe it yields 9 cupcakes instead of 12 (we’re going on 5 times now). I’m barely filling the liners up to halfway and my cupcake pan is not abnormally deep or wide. Please tell me what could be going on!

      Really! This is so weird, because when I made them originally, it also made 9! But every time after that (and I have made it ALOT lately!!) It made 11- 12!!
      I recently tested 8 different egg replacers with this same recipe and it made 12 everytime!
      So in a panic that people would be trying to overfill their liners and get overflow with a 9 yield, I changed it to 12!
      I fill mine half full and they rise to double.
      Maybe you are not creaming the butter to full fluffiness? I go about 4 -5 minutes of creaming before adding the rest.
      But definitely fill half full if not a teaspoon more than half and see what you get (let me know!)

    Could the recipe be made in a cake form? What size pan?

      Yes! You can bake the cake batter into 2-8″ layers or 3-7″ layers and proceed to build the components of this cake (filling, cream etc..) as a cake.
