Vegan Vanilla Frosting

We made these to go with the Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes.

The cast:

1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream shortening and powdered sugar together.

We used a mixer, but only because I had “company”. I usually just do it by hand, but wanted to be proper!

Add the vinegar and vanilla, mix until you have pretty peaks!

Frost!

Bottom line: This wasn’t the best ever. It had a weird taste that neither of us was crazy about, hence trying the cupcakes with no frosting *gasp*. If I made this again, I’d half the vinegar and add more vanilla.
