- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or any other vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
- Making the Batter:
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Filling the Cupcake Liners:
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Baking:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorating (Optional):
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite vegan frosting or enjoy them plain.
- Serve and Enjoy:
Your vegan cupcake recipe is complete now. Serve these delicious cupcakes at room temperature and enjoy every bite of their rich chocolate flavor!
- For extra chocolate flavor, consider adding a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin mixing to ensure even blending.
- If you prefer a sweeter frosting, you can dust the cooled cupcakes with powdered sugar or drizzle them with melted dairy-free chocolate.
Have Fun Baking!
