This batch was CHOCOLATE!
Here they are naked, fresh from the oven ^.^ I dripped the batter everywhere!!
As always, I used my "go-to" recipe for vegan chocolate cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take over the World. This recipe is a little different from the golden vanilla in that it uses canola oil for the fat instead of Earth Balance, but believe me, it is equally as yummy.
I did find that many of my friends do not like "chocolate" cupcakes, and much rather prefer the vanilla. I'm not exactly sure why there's this bias against chocolate cupcakes, but that's ok... more for me!
I thought I'd try something different with the buttercream frosting for these, so I used 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of mint:
The result: Chocolate and Minty goodness:
Tomorrow's post will NOT be about cupcakes, I promise! ^_^
Who doesn't like chocolate cupcakes?! What weirdos. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI used to prefer vanilla, but not anymore. Send those chocolate cupcakes my way! Happy belated birthday.
ReplyDeleteI love mint and chocolate together!
ReplyDeleteHey, happy birthday! My 4-year-old celebrated his Halloween Birthday with those same cupcakes! But his were adorned (per his request) with pink frosting ghosts. Mint sounds better.
ReplyDeletePink ghosts sound awesome!! ^_^ Nothing like a chocolate cupcake to celebrate a b-day
