Hey guys! Ana from Carmela POP here, and today I’m sharing with you one of my all time favorite recipes: vegan chocolate cupcakes with strawberry frosting (aka, the perfect recipe for spring)!
What I love about this recipe is how delicious and easy to make it is.
Seriously guys, you can even make it if this is your first time in the world baking cupcakes, and everyone is still going to be super impressed with your baking abilities.
I also love the fact that the vegan chocolate cupcakes happen to be vegan. And I say happen to be vegan because you really don’t miss the eggs, butter, or milk in this recipe. To be completely honest with you, you actually don’t even realize they were missing in the first place. No, not even with the frosting.
Common Questions About Making Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes
- Can vegans eat cakes? Yes, silly! This recipe proves that not only can vegan people eat cake, but it can also be just as delicious as the “regular” version!
- How long do vegan cupcakes last? Keep your cupcakes in a sealed container, and they should stay fresh and delicious for several days.
- What are vegan cupcakes made of? Most vegan cupcake recipes use margarine, which is similar to butter but vegetable-based, or oil. This vegan chocolate cupcake recipe uses oil.
- Are vegan cupcakes healthier? While many vegan foods might be considered healthier than non-vegan options, these are still cupcakes and should not be considered a health food.
Oh, and another great thing for my super duper busy friends? Vegan chocolate cupcakes freeze great. You can make a fresh batch, place them in the freezer and pop one every time you are craving a cupcake. Yes, it’s almost dangerous to have them that close, but you know what’s awesome? Being able to pull out a cupcake when you feel like it, no waiting time involved (ok maybe like 30 seconds for it to thaw, but you get the idea)!
These vegan chocolate cupcakes are moist, fluffy packed with flavor, and topped with cloud-like strawberry frosting, that’s pink. But naturally pink, no artificial food colorings, just natural strawberry pink. Please tell me I’m not the only one dancing a bit for the fact that natural food coloring (aka just berries) looks this cute.
Making the vegan frosting is also super easy. I’ve tried it with both traditional butter and with vegan Earth Balance, and both work equally well. I also recommend chilling your vegan frosting for 10 minutes before piping it. In my experience, vegan frostings are more delicate, and the cooling down helps to make them easier to work with.
