After these Vegan Vanilla cupcakes, the other cupcake recipe that is made quite often in my house is this vegan chocolate cupcake. This recipe is also from ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take over the World‘. I tried other eggless cupcake recipes, but this recipe has always given me consistent results. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy and they hold up to butter cream frosting.

I made these cupcakes for my son’s birthday and sent them to school. His class has kids who have very severe peanut allergy, so I always make sure that all the ingredients I use are peanut free.

I rarely bake vegan but there are occasions when friends request vegan recipes and I have always had issues finding fool-proof ones. I am going to take your recommendations and try these the next time
