Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes

My sister Jamie came to visit us today, as she’s on spring break. She’s a vegan, so we decided to whip up some yummy vegan baked goods.

Here we go!

The cast:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 cup water

Pre-heat over to 350. Sift dry ingredients together.

Then add the oil, vanilla, vinegar and water. Mix well.

Dump into baking cups – batter was pretty thick. Only makes 8, but it’s easily doubled if you wish.

(we really DO make a mess while baking!)

Bake for around 20 minutes. Let cool and frost. We used a Vegan Vanilla Frosting.

These came out really pretty, rose nicely!

Bottom line:

I think that sums it up nicely! These were delish, even for a meat lover such as myself. They are good even without frosting (which feels like blasphemy typing! I love me some frosting). They aren’t too rich, and have a great texture.
