METHOD
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (flour, sugar, cacao, baking soda, salt, and baking powder). Chop the almonds with a knife and place them in a mixing bowl. Combine the soy milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whip the mixture with a wire whisk. Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter.
Bake at 355° F (180° C) for about 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of each cupcake comes out clean. Place them in a cool place for a few hours.
To make the decoration, toast the slivered almonds in the oven at 400° F (200° C) for 8 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool to room temperature. Fill a pastry bag with a narrow nozzle with melted white chocolate. Decorate each cupcake with a spatula and creamy cheese.
Coat in sliced almonds. Apply the chocolate to the top of the creamy cheese with a pastry bag and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
