Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
¾ cup dark cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup almond milk
½ cup canola oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha)
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place liners into a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Sift flour mixture into another bowl and sift again back to the first bowl. Add almond milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract and beat using an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Fill each lined muffin cup 1/3 full of batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While cupcakes are baking, sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl and add matcha powder. Whisk together to blend. Add almond extract and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Mix in almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time using a whisk or spoon until icing reaches a good spreading consistency.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before icing, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vegan chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If you don't have coconut oil, you can use another type of vegetable oil, such as avocado oil or olive oil.
  • If you want a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner icing, add more almond milk.
  • For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract.
  • To make the icing extra creamy, beat it for a few minutes with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • If you're using the icing to frost a cake or cupcakes, make sure the cake or cupcakes are completely cool before applying the icing. Otherwise, the icing will melt.

Conclusion:

This vegan chocolate icing is easy to make and absolutely delicious. It's perfect for frosting cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. It's also great as a dip for fruit or pretzels. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, this icing is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
