VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH FROSTING



Vegan Dark Chocolate Cupcakes With Frosting image

This recipe is fantastic and the cupcakes turn out very moist because of the applesauce. My entire family raved about them! You don't have to be a vegan to enjoy these, these are also ideal for those with egg or dairy allergies. Make sure you're using trans fat free margarine like Nucoa or Earth Balance (both vegan). This recipe can easily be cut in half as well. (Update: I changed the frosting recipe due to inconsistent results. The new one is much better, in my opinion. Recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World).

3 tablespoons soy or rice milk
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a dozen muffin cups - either outfit a muffin pan with paper or foil liners, or use a baking sheet and set out 12 paper liners nested inside foil liners, or else use silicone muffin cups.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the soy or rice milk, vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them ideal for vegan baking. They also help keep the cupcakes moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with liners: Liners make it easy to remove the cupcakes from the pan and keep them from sticking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that they are cooked through.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a piping bag or a spoon to apply the frosting: A piping bag gives you more control over the frosting, but a spoon works just as well.
  • Decorate the cupcakes with your favorite toppings: Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh berries are all great options.

Conclusion:

These vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan vanilla frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will enjoy. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to potlucks. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy vanilla frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
