I'm always experimenting in the kitchen and from time to time, I try something completely spontaneous. These cupcakes were the result of flipping through Martha Stewart's cupcake book and craving chocolate cakey goodness. I call them semi-vegan because I cheated and used an egg rather than the vinegar. These cupcakes are delicious- dense, sweet and yummy!
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups cake flour
-3/4 cup sugar
-1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-1 tsp baking soda
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 large egg
-1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of oil
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 1/4 cup water
Directions:
-Set oven to 350
-Put cupcake liners in a pan (12)
-In one bowl: combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt
-In another bowl: combine oil, egg, vanilla, water
-Combine wet and dry mixes (it will be runny)
-Fill 12 cupcake cups
-Bake 20 minutes (until knife/toothpick comes out clear)
-Frost (I like pink funfetti frosting)- Optional!
-Dust (with confectioners' sugar; instead of frosting)- Optional!
These cupcakes will win you over for sure. They are addicting and oh so good!
-Serving: 12 cupcakes (160) calories per cupcake- before frosting!)
I'm also convinced that these could be a lot healthier with unsweetened applesauce instead of oil, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know if I do!
