How to Make Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes With Chocolate Mousse Topping
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy milk and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes to curdle.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the curdled soy milk mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until light and frothy.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full using an ice cream scoop for even baking.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the mousse: Combine 1 (14-ounce) package silken tofu, drained; ½ cup soy milk; ¼ cup maple syrup; and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave (be careful not to burn!). Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the melted chocolate to the blender and blend until well combined.
- Transfer the mousse to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously with the chocolate mousse using a piping bag or spatula.
