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.

1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
3 tablespoons soy or rice milk
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
