Uzma - Chocolate Vegan Cupcakes

Recipe Courtesy Chef Chloe

(Makes 12 Cupcakes)

Ingredients

·         1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

·         1 cup sugar

·         1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

·         1 teaspoon baking soda

·         ½ teaspoon salt

·         1 cup coconut milk

·         ½ cup vegetable oil

·         2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

·         2 teaspoons vanilla extract

·         1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

Directions 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners.  

Sift or whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and espresso powder until smooth.  

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix with a fork or small whisk.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners until each cup is 2/3 full. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
