Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with 9-10 cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat or almond milk, sugar, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually sift in pastry flour, salt, ground cardamom, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with the batter. Bake for 20-23 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  5. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, beat vegan butter and shortening until light and fluffy, then mix in vanilla extract and rosewater to taste.
  7. Gradually add powdered sugar until achieving a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  8. Frost cooled cupcakes with prepared frosting and optionally sprinkle dried rose petals on top for decoration.
