too much chocolate for you, cupcake
September 21, 2007 at 9:37 am | In Uncategorized |these cupcakes are not for the faint of chocolate.
if you prefer a more subtle chocolate taste, go for good old unsweetened cocoa powder instead of the D-process one.
be sure to choose a soda that does not contain high fructose corn syrup, for your health!
you could also replace it with a strongly brewed coffee to which you need to add at least 1/3 cup sugar. [brew your coffee, measure it, add sugar and stir to have it melt. let cool completely before adding to cupcake batter.]
makes 12 cupcakes
1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened
3/4 cup + 2 T condensed soy milk [be sure to let it cool down before using]
1 cup self-rising flour [= 1 cup all purpose flour + 1 1/2 t baking powder + 1/2 sea salt]
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 t baking powder
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
generous 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup organic cola or other favorite soda
preheat your oven to 350F. line your cupcake pan with paper cups. coat the liners with non stick cooking spray.
in a large bowl, cream your margarine for a couple of minutes. add condensed soy milk and beat until combined.
in a medium bowl, sift flour, cocoa, baking powder. stir in with wet ingredients, add chips, vanilla, and soda.
drop spoonfuls of batter [it is rather liquid!] into paper cups, and bake your cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, checking them with a toothpick after 18 minutes.
let cool five minutes in pan before removing and placing on cooling rack.
decorate with powdered sugar just before eating, if you’d like.

Cool! I’d been looking forward to this recipe, the photo looks so good… But I’ve never used soda in a cupcake. Can you really taste it in there?

I used “fufu berry” soda by Jones [which uses cane sugar instead of anything too unhealthy] and I could taste it more yesterday than I could today. for some odd reason. so the answer is, I guess, not really. :)

Woo Hoo! And soy free too! Although I am on a self imposed cooking ban at the moment. WAY too many disasters lately. (Think I might have to sneak in and cook these one’s though!)
