vegan chocolate orange cupcakes
Just made these and they're quite nice. They aren't strongly chocolatey, but if they were, it would probably cover the orange. (Still looking for recipes that are both strongly chocolately and strongly orangey.) really good. Flavours are stronger fully cooled, so have some patience before you eat them. Very moist and fluffy.
Adapted fromt the kitchn.
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 + 1/3 cups orange juice
1 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
zested orange peel from about 3 medium oranges
2 tbsp cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line 12 standard cupcake cups with papers (I use "jumbo" paper liners that are taller, so if you bake directly in an oiled pan, you'll need more than 12.)
Combine all dry ingredients and stir to combine well.
Add oil, vanilla, orange juice, orange peel. Whisk to combine.
Add vinegar and whisk to combine.
Spoon into prepared pan, filling cups about halfway, and bake for 15 minutes or more.
Test for doneness by lightly pressing tops. They should spring back when done. (I had a cake tester come out clean before these were done.) These are pretty moist, so I wouldn't be afraid of overbaking. Better than underdone.
