Provided by Bianca Zapatka

Categories     Cake     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 ½ cup all-purpose or spelt flour (or sub gluten-free flour*)
½ cup cocoa powder
1 pinch ground vanilla (or add 1 tsp vanilla extract to the wet ingredients)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 very ripe large banana (or 100 g applesauce)
½ cup dairy-free milk (at room temperature or lukewarm)
⅓ cup freshly brewed coffee (or sub more dairy-free milk)
⅓ cup oil (e.g. canola or sunflower oil)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
⅔ cup sugar (or more to taste)
¾ cup soy milk (or almond milk, but no oat milk, otherwise the pudding won't set!)
3 tbsp chocolate pudding powder (or sub 2.5 tbsp cornstarch + ½ tbsp cocoa powder)
1 tbsp sugar
½ cup vegan butter
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 pinch of ground vanilla (optional)
puffed amaranth (or quinoa)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 356 °F (180 °C). Grease a muffin pan or line it with paper cups.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and a pinch of ground vanilla into a bowl. Then add the baking soda and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Mash the banana with a fork. Add the dairy-free milk, coffee, oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar and mashed banana to a measuring cup and mix well.
  • Now pour this mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups and gently tap the pan a few times on the work surface so that the batter is evenly distributed. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean. If you want moist cupcakes, don't overbake them.
  • Let them cool in the pan, then remove.
  • Add 2-3 tbsp of the soy milk in a cup and stir in the chocolate pudding powder (or cornstarch + ½ tbsp cocoa powder) until dissolved. Pour the remaining soy milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk in the chocolate pudding mixture and sugar and bring to a boil again until it thickens. Then fill the pudding into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and let cool to room temperature.
  • Put the softened vegan butter in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer or in a food processor for a few minutes until fluffy. Add the pudding, one tablespoon at a time, while the mixer is running. Sift in powdered sugar, cocoa powder and optional vanilla. Continue mixing for a short while until you get a smooth buttercream.
  • Add the chocolate buttercream into a piping bag and place in the refrigerator until ready to use, while it can firm up a bit.
  • Once the cupcakes have cooled, decorate them with the buttercream and puffed amaranth as desired and enjoy!
