Margarita Cupcakes (from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World) 1/4 cup lime juice 1 1/2 tsp lime zest (1 lime) 1 cup soy milk (plain or vanilla) 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tsp tequila 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup sugar 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt Preheat oven to 350F. Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, lime zest, soy milk, oil, tequila, vanilla and sugar. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to lime mixture and stir until just combined. Divide evenly into muffin tins. Bake for 20-24 minutes, until a tester comes out clean and the cakes spring back when lightly pressed. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. Tequila and Lime Frosting 1/4 butter or nonhydrogenated shortening, softened 1 tbsp soymilk 3 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp tequila 2+ cups confectioners' sugar coarse sugar for "rims"Cream together butter/nonhydrogenated shortening (depending on whether you want the frosting vegan or not), soymilk, lime juice, tequila, and 2 cups of confectioners' sugar. Add in more sugar as needed to make frosting stiff, but spreadable. Spread on cupcakes and roll the edges in a small amount of coarse, colored sugar (poured into a small bowl, so it's easy to direct it.

Thank you! I also posted Tequila Sunrise cupcakes, and I actually thought that they were better than the margarita ones.... Let me know what you think when you make them. The frosting is a little too sweet, I think.

Wow--that looks so amazingly delicious! I can't wait to try it. I've been thinking about getting that cookbook for a while, so I might have to just break down and buy it. Thanks for posting this recipe!

You're welcome! I posted a tequila sunrise cupcake recipe too. I'm making a big batch of both this weekend for my birthday get-together. I want the book as well... I saw it new on Amazon really cheap.
