What is a good recipe for vegan cupcakes?
Written by Bethany on January 21st, 2010
Hannah <3 asked:
I have a friend that is a vegan and she is celebrating her birthday in a month or two. I need to find a recipe that does not contain any animal products so, no milk, eggs, etc. It would also be helpful if there was a recipe for frosting as well. If you have personally tried it then tell me how good they are because I want to make the best ones!

Chocolate Orange Cupcakes
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa (like Droste)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
2 oz semi sweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel
Directions
Melt the chocolate in the microwave (1 minutes high heat) or my preferred way - a makeshift double broiler (boil some water in a small sauce pot, put a small saute pan over the sauce pot, lower heat, add chocolate, stir occasionally with a plastic spatula until melted ), let cool.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa, set aside.
Whisk together wet ingredients (oil through Grand Marnier) until foamy, add orange peel. Add wet ingredients to dry and combine. Fold in melted chocolate.
Line 16 (or possibly more) muffin tins with cupcake liner. Pour batter in, filling cup 3/4 of the way.
Bake at 350 20-25 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Simple icing: Equal parts soybean margarine, vegetable shortening and confectioners sugar (For this recipe 1/2 cup of each should suffice). Grated orange zest to taste. Cream everything well with a soft spatula.
This is a rich chocolate orange experience. Use your favorite chocolate icing with the zest of one orange added to it, or my simple icing above. Decorate with orange slices cut into quarters. Voted the best vegan cupcake by people who love cupcakes. (Um, well my friends say it is anyway)

This is something that my mother used to make with us when we were kids! It’s super easy and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
And totally Vegan!
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour, sifted
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3 heaping tbsp. cocoa
6 tbsp. oil
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. vinegar
1 c. water
Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Spread evenly and make three holes in the dry ingredients. Pour the following into the holes: first hole - cooking oil, second hole - vanilla and third hole - vinegar. Pour water over this and stir well. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
For a caramel pecan frosting, 5 minutes before cake is done pour following icing over hot cake: Mix together and boil one minute: 9 tbsp. brown sugar, packed (1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp.) 4 tbsp. evaporated milk 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. chopped pecans
Don’t touch the cake after pouring icing over.
If you’d prefer chocolate frosting, wait for cakes to cool before frosting…
1/2 cup butter (I THINK Smart Ballance is vegan… but check)
2/3 cup cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1. melt butter, stir in cocoa
2. Alternately add powdered sugar and milkbeating on medium speed until well blended.
3. Add more milk if needed… if the frosting is too dry.
This makes 2 cups of yummy frosting
Enjoy!!!
