Red Velvet Cupcakes

These vegan red velvet cupcakes get their vibrant colour not from food dyes but from natural beetroot juice. They also use a healthier alternative to sugar, coconut sugar, to sweeten them so are ideal for those looking to tame their sweet tooth or cut down on their refined sugar intake.
