Ingredients
maple syrup
2/3 cup (none)
margarine
3/4 cup (softened)
soymilk powder
2/3 cup (none)
maple extract

Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened margarine and maple syrup. Use an electric mixer to beat them together until well blended. Don’t worry if the mixture appears slightly curdled at this stage.
2
Once combined, add in the maple extract and vanilla extract. Mix just until fully incorporated.
3
Gradually add the soymilk powder, continuing to mix on a low speed to avoid any mess. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
4
Continue mixing until the frosting reaches a creamy and fluffy consistency. If the frosting appears too wet, carefully incorporate additional soymilk powder, one tablespoon at a time. Conversely, if it looks too dry, add more maple syrup, one teaspoon at a time.
5
Once you achieve the desired consistency, use the frosting immediately to top cupcakes or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Rewhip before using if chilled.
