The Only Vegan Chocolate Cupcake Recipe you need💚

This vegan chocolate cupcake is like a little piece of chocolate heaven. It has a moist texture, an intense chocolate flavor, and is really light and fluffy. And topped with a vegan chocolate buttercream frosting, it tastes divine. We're going to start with combining our dry ingredients. So you're going to add your flour, and I'm using all-purpose flour, but if you want to make your cupcakes gluten-free, you can just sub it with gluten-free flour. I like to use Bob's Red Mill one-to-one flour, and that will turn out really well. Then we have our cocoa powder, and you want to make sure that you're using unsweened cocoa powder, otherwise your cupcakes are going to turn out too sweet. Next is our sugar, and then we're also going to add our baking powder, baking soda, and a dash of salt. Give the ingredients a quick whisk. Next, we're going to add our wet ingredients to our dry ingredients, and we're going to start with our almond milk. And you can use actually any plant-based milk for this recipe. It will turn out well. Next, we're going to add our lemon juice, and what the lemon juice is going to do, it's going to react with the baking soda. It's going to help rise the cupcakes and make it really soft and fluffy. Next, we're going to add our vegetable oil, and then we're going to add our vanilla extract, and then we're going to add our last ingredient to our batter. And when you add hot water to cocoa powder, it's called blooming the cocoa, and what it does is that it brings out the cocoa flavor so that you end up with these really rich, incredibly chocolatey cupcakes. And then you just mix all of your ingredients together, and we're going to divide the batter evenly and fill each cup about two-thirds full with the batter. And then we're just going to pop this in the oven, and it should bake for about 20 minutes. We're now going to make our vegan chocolate buttercream frosting, and it's so easy. All you do is just add all of the ingredients in the standalone mixer, and if you don't have one, you can just use a handheld mixer. So we're going to start off with adding our butter, and you want to make sure that the butter is at room temperature because that's going to be easier to beat it. Next, we're going to add our sugar, the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and the almond milk. You beat all of the ingredients together, and within a couple of minutes, you have amazingly delicious, rich, vegan chocolate buttercream frosting.
