How to Make Chocolate Vegan Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup plant-based milk (almond or soy recommended), ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about halfway full with batter.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
