1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. root beer extract
1 1/3 cups flour

1 cup vegetable shortening
3 cups confectioner’s sugar

Preheat your oven to 350F and line a dozen cupcake tins with papers.
Combine the soda and vinegar and let stand for a few minutes.
Add the sugar and oil, whisking vigorously until slightly frothy; integrate the extracts, and gently introduce the flour, along with baking powder and soda, and salt (Note: be careful not to over-mix).
Distributing the batter evenly between the prepared tins, fill cupcake liners approximately 3/4 of the way to the top.
Bake for about 18-22 minutes. Allow them to cool completely before topping with frosting.
Make the icing by combining room temperature shortening into a mixer; beat thoroughly until creamed, then add sugar and start on a low speed; incorporate soy milk and extract, and combine thoroughly.
