Wig’s Blue is one of my favorite YouTube Web series yet and Season 2 starts today, March 15, 2013. So if you have not seen Episode 1 or Season 1, go watch it. https://youtu.be/Eqv3Et_EqJs (Mature Content).

To celebrate, today we are going to make actual Blue Blueberry Cupcakes. I am so proud of these cupcakes, because I was able to naturally dye them Blue with a Blueberry simple syrup. I think I am one of few people who gets excited about such things, but somebody has got to do it.

Vegan Blue Blueberry Cupcakes Recipe
Attribution: https://testadoprovadoeaprovado.blogspot.com/2009/12/blue-gradient-cake-project-no.html

Ingredients:

2 unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raw sugar
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup blueberry simple syrup (recipe below)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a cupcake tine with 12 paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together raw sugar, almond milk, canola oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to together until just combine.

Lastly, fold in the blueberry simple syrup until a uniform color is reached (or not if you are going for a marbled look).

Use an ice cream scooper to evenly distribute the cupcake batter through out the line cupcake tin.

Bake for 15 – 18 minutes. When a toothpick can be inserted into the center of a cupcake and removed with few to no crumbs, they are done.

Allow them to cool before drizzling with a little more blueberry goodness.
