VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES



Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes image

This frosting keeps well at room temperature for a few hours, however if it starts to get too warm or you are not eating the cupcakes right away, place them in the refrigerator.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cupcake Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil, measured in liquid form
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 recipe Vegan Frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut oil, espresso powder, almond milk, and vanilla. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until combined. Quickly stir in the vinegar until incorporated.
  • Divide batter evenly between muffin cups (scant 1/3 cup per cupcake). Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Top cupcakes with vegan frosting (about 3 tablespoons per cupcake).

Tips:

- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a cacao content of at least 70%. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of plant-based milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To make sure your cupcakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they're done. - For a smooth and creamy frosting, make sure your vegan butter is at room temperature before you start mixing it. - If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought vegan frosting instead of making your own. - Decorate your cupcakes however you like! You can use sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

These vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan vanilla frosting are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're moist, fluffy, and packed with chocolate flavor. The frosting is smooth and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cupcakes. Whether you're a vegan or not, you're sure to love these delicious cupcakes.
