Eggless Marble Cupcakes Ingredient List

Flour — These cupcakes use all-purpose flour as the base ingredient that gives them structure. Ensure that the all-purpose flour is fresh, as it yields the best cupcakes.

Baking Powder/ Baking Soda — This is added for aerating the cake batter. An aerated batter produces the most fluffy and soft Marble cupcakes with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Salt — Balances the sweetness and flavors of the cupcakes and helps enhance the recipe’s taste.

Oil — Lends moistness to the cupcakes, without which the cake would feel dry and crumbly.

Sugar — Used as a sweetener in the batter, and powdered sugar is added to the frosting to enhance its flavor.

Essence — When added to the batter, Vanilla essence lends it a wonderful fruity flavor. A few drops added to the frosting make it taste just amazing!

Milk — Used in the recipe to make buttermilk (on mixing with vinegar) that adds moisture to the batter, which helps the cake to retain its moistness and texture. Milk is also used in the recipe for preparing the chocolate batter.

Vinegar — It is used in the recipe to produce buttermilk by combining it with milk.

Cocoa Powder — This eggless marble cupcake is made with a combination of vanilla and chocolate flavors. The cocoa powder creates the chocolate part of the recipe.

Butter — It renders the creaminess and buttery texture to the buttercream frosting. You can use unsalted butter here, but salted ones can also be used. If you are using salted butter, avoid adding salt to the frosting; otherwise, the saltiness will overshadow the sweetness and other flavors.

Nutella — Used in the recipe for creating the yummy buttercream Nutella frosting. It also lends a beautiful brown hue to the frosting.

Whipped cream — Full-fat whipping cream is used for preparing the creamiest frosting for these little beauties of vanilla and chocolate flavors.

Flaxseed Meal — Milled/ ground flaxseed, also called flaxseed meal, is used in the recipe in place of eggs. This forms a beautiful vegan substitute for the eggs.

Water — Used in the recipe to make the flaxseed egg. Flaxseed meal is mixed with water to form a gelatinous substance known as the flaxseed meal.

Recipe Tips and Variations

Use of buttermilk — Buttermilk is an essential ingredient for this eggless marble cupcake. Being acidic, it tenderizes the gluten in the batter, and this helps to make the cupcakes soft and super spongy.

Measure ingredients precisely — Accurate measurement of the ingredients defines the success of the cupcakes. So, follow the instructions carefully, and most importantly, begin the recipe with the correct measurements of the ingredients.

Use fresh ingredients — Fresh ingredients make the best tasting recipes, so always go for ingredients that are within their shelf life.

Baking at the correct temperature — Just as measuring the ingredients is very important, so is the process and duration of baking the Marble cupcakes. If the oven temperature is set at a higher level than required/ mentioned, your cupcakes may burn or get heavily cooked, and if the temperature is set lower than required, your cake may be undercooked. So, follow the exact temperature mentioned in the recipe for the perfectly moist and well-baked cake.

Over-mixing or under-mixing — Over-mixing the batter results in an over-aerated batter which creates heavy textured and dense cakes. On the other hand, under-mixing will also give results similar to over-mixing. Therefore, it is essential to hit the middle ground and mix the ingredients until they are just well-combined.

Release the trapped air — The trapped air creates air pockets in the batter, causing an uneven textured cupcake. It is good to tap the pan on the counter a couple of times before placing it in the oven to release the trapped air. This ensures smooth, finished eggless marbled cupcakes.

The important test — It is important to confirm the cupcake’s doneness after baking it for the recommended time. For this, insert a toothpick or a wooden skewer in the middle of the cake, and if it comes out dry and clean, this indicates that there is no excess moisture remaining in the cupcake and the crumb has completely set.

Keep patience when baking — Once set to the instructed timing for baking, do not get tempted to open the door to check the progress. Keep patience until the cupcakes are baked. Constant oven door opening will let the heat escape, and the temperature change may bring a difference to the baking.

Whisk the ingredients gently — A rapid whisking will not let the air get trapped in the batter (aeration). When the batter doesn’t get aerated, it will not rise properly. Therefore, for the perfectly puffing eggless marble cupcakes, avoid whisking the batter briskly.

Cooling the cupcakes — Let the cupcakes cool in the cake pan for about 8 to 10 minutes, following which, remove them from the pan and let them rest on the cooling rack.

Frosting follows cooling — Cool the marble cupcakes completely before frosting them because any warmth left in the cupcakes will let the frosting melt, ruining the entire creation.

Filling the cupcake liners — As a thumb rule, fill the cupcake liners 2/3rd and leave the rest of the space for the batter to rise. This is an essential trick to remember.

Proper storing to prevent them from drying — You can make these eggless marble cupcakes in advance and store them to be served later. Store the unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature while wrapped tightly with a cling sheet.
