Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes + Vegan Ganache 🌱
Hint hint…..
WARNING: If you’re grossed out by avocados please don’t
read this recipe! jajaj
First of all, lets talk about Veganism. In case you don’t know what
veganism is it’s a lifestyle than doesn’t contribute to animal damage or harm.
Vegans basically eat a plant-based diet and don’t wear/use any products
containing or tested by animals. This lifestyle is considered to be the best
diet for well being and health in the world.
I thought I’d do this recipe (like the vegan mug cake) just to show you
that vegan food (+desserts) can be just as amazing as regular non-vegan food.
Also, this recipe doesn’t use any weird “fake butters” or artificial
flavours to make them taste like non-vegan foods. They are just good all by
themselves! ;D
The only thing that I will warn you about is that as you’ll feel no
guilt for eating these, (as you won’t be harming any animals) and you’ll
probably end up eating all of them in less than one week.

🌱 Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes🌱:
250ml of any tipe of non-dairy milk
172g of caster sugar
1/2 cup of canola/vegetable oil
1 1/2 of tsp cider vinegar
160g of all-purpose flour
40g of cocoa powder
3/4 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of salt
First of all sift all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl (you can do this by using a whisk or your electric mixer on the lowest speed). At this point preheat your oven to about 10-175ºC. Next add all of the wet ingredients into a smaller bowl and whisk them all together. Then add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly for about 20-30 seconds. I also decided to add in some nuts at this point.
When the batter is ready, prepare a cupcake tin with cupcake liners/papers. Use an ice-cream scoop to scoop the batter into the individual casings. I normally use a 49mm wide ice-cream scoop. After the batter is scooped place the tray in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Now that the cupcakes are baked, it's time to
make the non-buttercream jajaja!
🌱 Vegan
Chocolate "Ganache" 🌱:
3 ripe avocados
660g
of icing sugar, sifted
200g
of cocoa powder
Now, this icing is one of the easiest recipes to make that you'll ever find as
it doesn't requiere those endless minutes of whipping the butter just to make
the icing nice and fluffy.
To make the buttercream
just simply put the pieced avocados into a blender/food processor and blend 10
seconds until smooth. When the avocados are smooth add in half the icing sugar
and pulse for 5 seconds. Then add in the rest of the icing sugar and the cocoa
powder.
When everything is just mixed together (don't overmix the icing as it will go too thin) get a piping bag and fit it with a stared nozzle. Add the icing inside and place it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
(PS my vein look
gross in this picture jaja)
When the cupcakes
have cooled down completely, you can start to pipe the icing on the cupcakes in
any motion you like (I did a high swirl because this icing is just amazing and
looks very glossy XD).
When the cupcakes
are iced sprinkle on top some sea salt flakes!
(PS: did you know
that salt brings up the chocolate flavour?
This is what the
cupcakes look like on the inside! Mmmmmm
I hope you really
