Cupcake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 340ºF (170ºC) and prepare your mini cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy milk and lemon juice for 1 minute, then add olive oil, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt. Mix until creamy.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the wet mixture and gently stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Add vegan green food dye and fold it into the batter. Then add chopped pistachios, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Fill each cupcake liner halfway and bake in the preheated oven for 12.5 minutes; lower the temperature to 320ºF (160ºC) and bake for another 12.5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
Frosting Preparation
- Cream together softened vegan butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar mixing thoroughly.
- Add lemon juice and rose water, blending until creamy and fluffy. Tint with vegan red food dye for the perfect pink color.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, pipe the buttercream onto each cupcake and optionally decorate with chopped pistachios and dried rose buds.

Notes
Ensure vegan butter is softened for easy mixing; cupcakes must cool completely before frosting to avoid melting buttercream.
