1.
Mix the soy milk and vinegar in a large bowl and let it stand for a while until it sets (there is lumps)

Add sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mix well
3.
Powder mixed and sieved
4.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (approximately 176°C). The mold is filled with greased paper support (very thin kind). If it is a thick paper cup, you don’t need to pad it in the mold.
5.
Pour the powder in 3 into the wet mixture in 2, and stir until the dry powder is invisible. It does not matter if there are small batter blocks, avoid excessive stirring
6.
Pour the batter into a paper cup and bake the middle layer at 350°F (about 176°C) for 18-20 minutes. The cake is fully expanded. Use a toothpick to stick it in without bringing out the batter.

[Vegan Chocolate Frosting]
Soy milk...1/4 cup
Semi-sweet chocolate... 4 ounces (125 g)
Maple syrup...2T (maple syrup should work too)
(1cup=240ml 1T=15ml)
Heat the soy milk, add the chocolate, stir the syrup until it is smooth, and cool to room temperature [Mini Chocolate Frosting Ball (for decoration)]: refrigerate the vegan chocolate frosting until it hardens. Dip the cocoa powder with both hands and take an appropriate amount of frosting into small balls. Put it in the cocoa powder and roll it around and place it on greased paper. Keep cool before use, you can mix fruit when decorating cupcakes

【Vegan Brown Frosting】
Soy milk... 1/2cup
Soy milk powder...1/4 cup
Bamboo 竽粉……1T (I didn't find it, it should be replaced by sweet potato starch)
Brown syrup...1/2 cup (not found either, use caramel sauce instead)
Vanilla extract...1t
(1cup=240ml 1T=15ml 1t=5ml)
Mix soy milk, soy milk powder and bamboo bun powder in a small pot, heat over medium heat and stir continuously until it starts to thicken, about 4 minutes
Add the syrup and stir evenly, adjust to medium-high heat, cook until it boils, stirring constantly, heating until it becomes thick and smooth, like a cake batter, about 10min
Add vanilla extract, stir well, turn off the heat, and cool for 10 minutes. To make it easier to pour out the syrup, put oil in the measuring cup and pour the syrup
Tips:
The bitterness of cocoa powder and the sweetness of icing are paired together. Although it is vegan, it is softer and more elastic than the cake with egg milk.
