How to Make Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes With Vegan Vanilla Frosting

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the plant-based milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined – do not overmix.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the vegan butter until light and fluffy.
  8. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and plant-based milk, beating until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the vegan vanilla frosting.
