- 3/4 cup Water

*If you want to freeze it, I mentioned some of my favorite garnish recipes earlier in this post, or use your favorite frosting. For an extra 2 tablespoons cocoa, you can use Dutch or regular. I highly recommend using Dutch for the strong chocolate flavour. To find Dutch cocoa, simply search for the word “alkali” in the ingredients. Be sure to use plain, unsweetened (not Dutch) for the initial 1/4 cup.To prepare vegan cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F, and place liners in cupcake pan. In a large bowl, whisk first 5 ingredients. Don’t forget the vinegar. Leave for at least 10 minutes, and sift all remaining ingredients into a separate bowl while you wait. Pour wet into dry, stir until evenly blended, and smooth into liners. It fills only two thirds of the way at most, because it rises so much and you don’t want it to pop up and then sink in the middle (although it does, just frost it!). Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack. to calm down. These taste better the next day, and the linings will peel off easily after a day. View Nutrition Facts
