Easy Vegan Double Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe.

This recipe is based upon a traditional double chocolate cupcake.
However, these cupcakes are made with no added dairy.

Did you try my Vegan Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake?

That recipe is another delicious vegan chocolate dessert recipe. Both this cupcake recipe and that chocolate dessert recipe are perfect for serving at a vegan birthday party or gathering.

This recipe uses flax seeds as the egg replacement. You can find a selection of flax seeds here.

What is the difference between vegan cupcakes and regular cupcakes?

Just like with any other vegan recipe, a vegan recipe is made with no animal byproducts added. Many of the ingredients used to make cupcakes are the same in both vegan and non vegan cupcakes.

What are the vegan ingredients that are alternatively used?
Most notably, the vegan ingredients that use are alternatives for dairy products. In cupcakes, this can be egg and butter alternatives.

Do vegan cupcakes taste the same as the regular kind?

Most folks would never tell the difference between the two.
This is because the main flavor ingredients are the same or close to the same.

In this recipe, we are using unsweetened cocoa that is the same as the one used in non vegan chocolate cupcakes. Sugar is also used to sweeten both kinds of cupcakes.

Tips for making vegan chocolate cupcakes.

Vegetable oil is the fat that is used to add moisture to the cupcakes. Canola oil or a similar neutral oil can be used as instead.

Here are some more great tips for you.

  1. When selecting your other ingredients, make sure that you are choosing ingredients that indeed fully vegan. This is especially true with sugar.
  2. Adding a teaspoon or two of espresso powder often works well in a cupcake recipe like this one. This is because espresso tends to enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
  3. Make sure that you are using unsweetened cocoa powder rather than chocolate milk powder or Dutch processed. Neither alternative will works well in this recipe.

How to store vegan chocolate cupcakes.

These cupcakes in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to three days. If you want to freeze these cupcakes, it is not recommended that you freeze the cupcakes with the frosting. Allow the cupcakes to get to room temperature before frosting for best results.

How to make vegan chocolate ‘buttercream’ frosting.

  • Non Dairy Butter softened to room temperature.
  • Vegan Powdered Sugar
  • Unsweetened Baking Cocoa.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract

How to make the frosting.

  1. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the dairy free butter on medium until smooth.
  2. Turn the speed down to low and slowly add the powdered sugar.
  3. Once the powdered sugar has been incorporated into the vegan butter, you can add the cocoa and the vanilla extract, slowly.
  4. Turn the mixer speed up to high and beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy (about two to two and a half minutes).
  5. My frosting was applied using a piping bag with tip.

Expert Tip 👉If the buttercream is too dry, feel free to add a tablespoon of almond milk to bring it together.

Ingredients needed to make vegan cupcakes.

  • Flax Seeds.
  • Hot Water. Use with the flaxseed to make flax egg that helps bind the cupcake batter together.
  • Flour. All purpose is recommended however, if you use an alternative, use one that measures like all purpose and include any needed binders.
  • Unsweetened Baking Cocoa.. Dutch process is not recommended.
  • Baking Powder. Used to add air to the cupcakes.
  • Almond Milk. Use unsweetened almond milk. Feel free to use any non-dairy milk instead.
