Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes With Chocolate Mousse Topping Recipes

CLASSIC VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners. Set aside.
• Sift the flour and cocoa into a mixing bowl and add the white and brown sugar, baking soda and salt and mix together.
• Add the soy milk, vanilla, oil, applesauce and vinegar and mix in. Use a hand whisk to whisk out any big lumps.
• Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners.
• Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.
• Let cool for a few minutes and then remove the cupcakes from the cupcake tray and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Prepare your frosting by adding the vegan butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt to a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, start at slow speed, gradually increasing speed. Add in the soy milk slowly, only as much as needed to get the right consistency.
• When your cupcakes are cooled, pipe on the frosting and sprinkle with grated vegan chocolate shavings.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH VANILLA FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 15 individual muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.
• Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Pour in water, oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Mix well into a smooth batter. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool in the muffin cups for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes.
• Cream margarine in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 of the confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while electric mixture is running on low speed. Beat in vanilla soy milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in remaining confectioners' sugar until frosting has desired consistency.
• Spoon frosting into a piping bag and pipe over cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• *If you want to frost them, I mentioned a few of my favorite frosting recipes earlier in this post, or use your own favorite frosting. For the additional 2 tbsp cocoa, you can use either Dutch or regular. I highly recommend Dutch for heightened chocolate flavor. To find Dutch cocoa, just look for the word "alkali" in the ingredients. Be sure to use regular unsweetened (not Dutch) for the initial 1/4 cup.To make the vegan cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a cupcake pan with liners. In a large bowl, whisk first 5 ingredients. Do not forget the vinegar. Let sit at least 10 minutes, and sift all remaining ingredients in a separate bowl while you wait. Pour wet into dry, stir just until evenly mixed, and smooth into liners. Only fill up 2/3 of the way at most, because they rise a lot and you don't want them to burst and then sink in the middles (although if it happens, just hide it with frosting!). Bake 20 minutes on the center rack. Let cool. These taste even better the next day, and the liners will peel off easily after a day. View Nutrition Facts

• Add the sugar, oil, vanilla to the curdled soy milk and beat until a little frothy.
• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet in 2 batches, mixing until no large lumps remain.
• Fill the muffin liners about 3/4 fill. I use an ice cream scoop so that they are sure to be uniform in size.
• Bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, and then remove from pan and put on a cooling rack until completely cooled.
• For the Mousse topping: Put the tofu, soy milk, maple syrup and vanilla in a blender; puree until completely smooth.
• Melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or carefully in a microwave. If you use a microwave, be careful so as to not burn the chocolate. Let the melted chocolate cool for about 5 minutes.
• Add the chocolate to the tofu in the blender and blend until combined.
• Put the mousse into a covered container and chill for at least an hour.
• When the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a large decorating tip on a pastry bag, and put a mountain of mousse on each cupcake.
