What do you need for Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes?
To prepare these dairy-free chocolate cupcakes, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Flour - Use regular all-purpose flour for these sugar buns.
- Cornstarch - Mixing flour and cornstarch will make your cupcake fluffier.
- Sugar - For sweetening the cupcakes.
- Cocoa - For a deeper chocolate taste.
- Baking Soda - Makes the cupcakes fluffy. It is stronger than the same amount of baking powder. For baking soda, you always need an acid (in this case, vinegar) to make it work.
- Sea Salt - Balances the flavor in the cupcakes.
- Sunflower oil - The chocolate cupcakes are deliciously moist and lactose-free by using oil instead of butter.
- Vinegar - Let the baking soda work. And luckily, you won't taste it anymore in the result!
- Vanilla Extract - For a hint of vanilla flavor. If you can get it, use natural vanilla extract, which has a slightly deeper flavor than artificial vanilla extract. With this recipe, you can make a homemade vanilla extract (and, if you bake a lot, it is highly recommended because you can use this for a reasonable amount of time).
