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!

Time 35m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons hot water
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup earth balance butter substitute, softened
3/4 cup self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup applesauce
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 teaspoons orange rind, finely grated

Steps:

  • Blend cocoa powder and hot water.
  • Combine the sugar, butter substitute, flour, baking powder and applesauce in a bowl. Beat for 3 to 4 minutes until pale and creamy.
  • Put half the mixture into a second bowl. Fold the orange juice and rind into one bowl. Fold the cocoa-water into the other bowl.
  • Spoon the two mixtures evenly into lined or greased cupcake tins. Draw a knife through the mixture to create a marble effect.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20 or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
