Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the cupcakes:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups water or cold freshly brewed coffee
1 cup neutral oil, such as canola
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
4 tablespoons zested orange peel
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
For the frosting:
1 cup vegan margarine, softened and at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two standard cupcake tins with paper liners. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the water, oil, vanilla, orange juice, ginger, and orange peel. Stir to combine. Add the vinegar and stir quickly. The batter will be slightly foamy and lighter in color as you mix in the vinegar. The batter will turn darker again; this is the sign that all the vinegar has been incorporated. Fill the prepared cupcake tins 2/3 full. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top of a cupcake springs back when lightly pressed with a finger. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes and place on wire rack until completely cool. Frost only after the cupcakes are cool. To make the frosting, whip the margarine with a hand or stand mixer until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Gradually whip in the soy milk, then the vanilla, orange juice, and salt and mix on high speed until lightened and creamy. Frost the cupcakes. Refrigerate any unused frosting for up to a week.

Vegan Chocolate Orange (Jaffa) Cupcakes image

A recipe I found floating around on the internet, based on Jaffa candy, which I vegan-ized. We like to serve these with a simple chocolate buttercream icing in which the milk is replaced with orange juice. They're also great with your traditional chocolate buttercream, too!

CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES (VEGAN)



Chocolate Orange Cupcakes (Vegan) image

I have found using my new muffin tin creates a diferent shape cupcake. My husband and I reckon the peak in the centre of the cupcake is caused by the metal tin reflecting heat focusing it in on the centre of the cupcake. I usually use silicone trays for my cupcakes. This recipe is from Vegan cupcakes takeover the world by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope. It can be frosted but I decided that would not be appropriate for these cakes as they were destined for a sick mother in law in hospital. I love the melt in your mouth texture of these cupcakes

Tips:

  • Use the freshest oranges possible for the best flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Zest the oranges before you juice them. This will help to release the essential oils and give your cupcakes a more intense orange flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake the cupcakes, or they will be dry.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a richer frosting, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
  • Decorate the cupcakes with orange zest, chocolate chips, or sprinkles before the frosting sets.

Conclusion:

These chocolate orange cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their moist chocolate cake and tangy orange frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
