I’m Wendy, one of the co-founders of EVMG but my passion is cooking so most days you can find me over at Around My Family Table sharing easy recipes that the whole family will love. I started thinking….I’ve been here for over two years and haven’t shared one single recipe. Well, that’s changing today with these super easy Self Frosting Cupcakes. This is totally perfect for a busy mom plus they look fabulous too!
Everything goes into the oven at once and comes out perfect. No need for a seperate frosting because the frosting is baked into the cupcake. So good! So easy! So perfect for everyone! I can see taking these to my daughter’s class for her birthday celebration next week, to the Christmas potluck, and the next big family get together.
If you don’t follow AMFT then you don’t know that I’m dairy free, egg free, and gluten free. That means all of my desserts are vegan. STOP…Don’t run away. I promise you can make these for your dairy eating friends too. I use egg replacer for the eggs and soy-based “butter” and a vegan cream cheese alternative from Tofutti (I love their stuff). I totally want you to give their products a try, my family used to use them even before I had to switch to dairy alternatives. I’m not paid to use their products in my recipes, but I love them so I do. They are, however; providing this awesome giveaway for you…so keep reading after the recipe for all the details!
You can find Tofutti products in most stores or on Amazon. For a truely vegan cupcake, you will need egg replacer as well, which is easily found on Amazon too. Lastly, you can’t use butter, but rather soy baking sticks…they taste and work just like butter!
- 16 oz Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese, softened

About Wendy
I would love to get the ice cream sandwiches. My daughter had a dairy allergy when she was a baby and we really liked them.
I also would love to try the ice cream sandwiches!! This recipe seems pretty simple, I’d love to make it
I want to try the Jumbo Cheese Ravioli, but none of the stores near me carry it. I own stock in Tofutti Brands. I usually buy their products when I see them in the stores.
The blintzes look yummy. I’m a sucker for all things in a crepe!
I’ve never heard of self frosting cupcakes before.
They also sell ice cream sandwiches.
going to give this a try!
Hey! I’m not a vegan, but I do try to stay away from dairy! I also am always looking for dairy free recipes! I’m so excited- these cupcakes were the perfect pic to wake up to this morning! Xoxo
thanks for the cool idea! I’ve loved tofutti ice creams forever and i’ve never thought about using them for baking!
I would love to try the Yours Truly Cones.
That recipe is a neat idea, I like the marbled look of them. I’ve already tried some Tofutti products but haven’t found the Key Lime Pie Cuties yet, I’d like to try those.
the recipe looks easy and delicious. I also looked at the site and like the Blueberry & Cheese Mintz’s Blintzes
I would love to try the frozen Cafe Latte Bars! We have tried their Yours Truly Novelty cones and they are awesome! Taste like a regular Nutty Bar Cone, We get the yours Truly Cones when we travel out of town where they are available and we take an ice chest with us to get them safely home.
The recipe looks so good and wish I had some now. I love caramel and sundaes so I would love to try their Yours Truly Caramel Sundae.
These looks delicious! I’m pinning and going to try these!
Thanks for linking up with It’s a Mom’s Life. I hope you’ll join us this week too (it starts tonight!)
