VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Vegans have made amazing discoveries in the field of eggless baking. This is a boon not just for folks who abstain from animal products, but also for those who have dairy allergies. This recipe, adapted from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World," by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, makes cupcakes that are moist and sweet and dark with cocoa.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup soy or rice milk
1 teaspoon vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
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. In another bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, pausing two or three times to stir, and keep stirring until all the large lumps are gone.
  • Pour the batter into the cupcake liners until they are about two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • When cool, whisk the chocolate glaze ingredients until smooth and spread the glaze on the cupcakes. If you choose, top with sprinkles.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE ORANGE (JAFFA) CUPCAKES



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.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality vegan chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the orange juice is fresh for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a richer frosting, use vegan butter instead of margarine.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes using a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a decorative touch.
  • Garnish the cupcakes with orange zest, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor.
