Dairy Free Chocolate Cupcakes With Dairy Free Chocolate Frosting (eggless)

Hello,


    So I finally got around to writing down the recipes that I keep testing, thus thought to my self I might as well share these. At least that way Id actually write them all down. I'm huge on sweet treats that also happen to be on the healthier side, this recipe too happens to be one of them. Being the most asked for recipe on my Instagram I thought why not write the first post around these Dairy free chocolate cupcakes that also happen to be egg less with the addition of a dairy free frosting.Yes DAIRY FREE FROSTING!! and I must say I don't miss dairy when I eat these. Id love it if you could leave your thoughts in the comments below, Thank you.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4th cup all purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoon coco powder
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water

Pre heat the oven to 175'C

Sift all dry ingredients (flour, coco powder, baking soda, salt) into a large bowl. 

Add in the sugar to the dry ingredients and mix in well with a fork.

In a different large bowl add water, oil and vanilla and mix well with a hand mixer or a whisk until you start seeing medium sized bubbles in your mixture ( this means the mixtures well aerated)

Now slowly incorporate the dry into the wet using a spatula just slowly fold in your flour, do not mix it just fold it in this way the aeration remains intact.

Take a mini cupcake tin (you could use big one as well just add the batter 3/4th way up each cupcake slot), place in your cupcake liners and add in exactly a tablespoon  of cupcake batter  in each slot of the cupcake tin.(you could use big one as well just add the batter 3/4th way up each cupcake slot)

Place the cupcake tin in the centre slot of the oven and bake for about 20-25 mins until the inserted tooth pick comes out clean.


DAIRY FREE CHOCOLATE FROSTING 

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/3rd cup chopped dark chocolate`
  • 1/2 cup chilled coconut cream

METHOD

Microwave the chopped chocolate for a minute and stir it well to melt it thoroughly, keep it aside to cool but not harden.

Once the chocolate cools add in the cocoa powder and the coconut cream and mix well. 

Store the mixture in the freezer  for a few minutes and take it put and beat it with a hand blender until stiff peaks.
