<3In a separate large bowl, beat together the soy milk mixture, oil, sugar and vanilla. Stir the dry ingredients and mix until no large lumps remain.

Cream the cold "butter" and powdered sugar, then add the soymilk and blend.

<3Note: The original recipe says to fill the liners 3/4 full, which I did and still had leftover batter. The cupcakes got HUGE in the oven - so beware! If you fill them half way, it makes about 15 cupcakes.
