Tonight we are going to a dinner party at my husbands Aunt and Uncle's. They are making us a delicious vegan meal and I am in charge of dessert. Naturally I thought cupcakes and of course chocolate! Who doesn't love chocolate? I don't know anyone who doesn't like chocolate. So I made these delicious chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I hope you give them a try!!
Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes
Cupcake Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 cup organic cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/4 cups organic sugar
3 tbs vegan butter softened
2 flax eggs (2 tbs ground flax meal mixed with 6 tbs water. Let set 5 minutes before use.)
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/4 cup fresh brewed coffee
1/2 cup almond milk (I used plain)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350*F
Prepare a muffin pan with liners or grease and flour.
In a small bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the flax egg and vanilla. Mix in the coffee and almond milk.
Using an electric mixer carefully blend in the dry ingredients.
Spoon your cupcake batter into the prepared pan. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this part because they come out the same size. This recipe makes 12 cupcakes.
Bake cupcakes for 15-18 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened vegan butter
2 1/2 cups organic powdered sugar
3/4 cup organic cocoa powder
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/3 cup plain almond milk
Directions:
In a medium bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in all other ingredients. Chill 10 minutes before frosting.
