Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven and Cupcake Liners

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy milk, vanilla extract, canola oil, applesauce, and vinegar.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fill Cupcake Liners

  • Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.

Bake the Cupcakes

  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cupcakes

  • Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Vegan Buttercream Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened vegan butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt, beating until smooth and creamy. Add soy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Frost the Cupcakes

  • Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the vegan buttercream frosting. Garnish with vegan chocolate chips or shaved chocolate.

Serve and Enjoy!

  • Your delicious fudgy vegan chocolate cupcakes are ready to serve!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes:

  • For extra chocolatey cupcakes, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Get creative with your frosting! Add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings to personalize your cupcakes.
