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.

Time 30m

Yield 30 cupcakes, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups boiling water
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine, softened
2 1/4 cups white sugar
3/4 cup applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup soymilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin tin(s) with paper liners.
  • In medium bowl, pour boiling water over cocoa, and whisk until smooth. Let mixture cool. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the applesauce, then stir in vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the cocoa mixture. Pour mixture into prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. (If making a cake instead of cupcakes, use 3- 9 inch pans, coated with non-stick spray.).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes (or 25-30 mins for a cake). Allow to cool.
  • Beat the shortening and margarine together until well combined and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat for about 3 more minutes. Add the vanilla and soy milk, and beat for another 5 to 7 minutes until fluffy. Adjust with more soy milk or confectioners' sugar if necessary. Frost cupcakes once they are completely cooled.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • To make sure your cupcakes are moist and fluffy, don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • If you don't have a cupcake pan, you can use a muffin pan instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make the frosting, start by whisking the melted chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth. Then, gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until you reach the desired consistency.
  • For a vegan chocolate ganache, heat equal parts dark chocolate and coconut cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Let cool slightly before pouring over the cupcakes.
  • Decorate your cupcakes with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

These vegan dark chocolate cupcakes are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a rich and fudgy flavor. The frosting is creamy and smooth, with a hint of chocolate. Whether you are a vegan or not, you will love these cupcakes!
