Fudgey and delicious vegan chocolate orange cupcakes with a chocolate orange sponge, frosting and more!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vegan chocolate orange cupcakes!<\/h3>\n

So.. I decided it was time to pull out the big guns when it came to my vegan baking. I wanted to do the bake, that you ALL will want, whether you are vegan or not. I wanted to do the flavour of my dreams, in vegan form\u2026 chocolate orange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I will say from the beginning that these do literally taste like a fudgey delicious vegan version of my normal chocolate orange sort of bakes, but yeah they are also vegan. They are naturally different where you can\u2019t use Terry\u2019s chocolate orange, but that\u2019s obvious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegan chocolate<\/h3>\n

However, one amazing new invention is the Galaxy vegan vars, AND THEY DO A CHOCOLATE ORANGE ONE. It is INCREDIBLE. And it literally tastes like Terry\u2019s chocolate orange! I genuinely think these Galaxy vegan bars are the best vegan chocolate I have ever tasted!<\/p>\n

I decided to base this recipe on my vegan chocolate cake<\/a> because I adore the recipe so much. It does form up well with my vegan vanilla cupcakes as well though for help on proportions \u2013 but otherwise its chocolate themed through and through.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vegan baking experimenting<\/h3>\n

Now, I am no expert on vegan baking by any means as I am not vegan myself \u2013 however\u2026 I understand the science behind it. As you are (obviously) leaving out the butter and eggs that you would normally use in a cake sponge, you have to be careful with what you replace it with.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons it took me so long to get into vegan baking was experimenting and finding recipes that I actually liked \u2013 as many I have tried in the past have tasted of nothing, or have been rubbery balls of gross. Experimentation was key, and I got there!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stick the the recipe!<\/h3>\n

I find that one of the keys of baking vegan is to stick to the recommendations \u2013 and DO NOT OVER MIX. Something like this really does not need much mixing. You don\u2019t need an electric mixer for the sponge, and you just need to stir it together and you are done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mix is naturally a lot more liquid than a normal cake mix, so it can be a little messy when you are portioning it \u2013 but otherwise, it\u2019s easy \u2013 split between the 12 cases, and bake! Decorate and enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vegan replacements<\/h3>\n

I use almond milk as it\u2019s one of my favourite non-dairy milks \u2013 but you can use pretty much any \u2013 I however haven\u2019t tested those myself. I use stork block for the buttercream icing as it\u2019s naturally vegan and it\u2019s my favourite non-dairy butter \u2013 and I use Tate & lyle Icing sugar<\/a> which is also vegan friendly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cocoa powder wise, you have to be careful \u2013 but dairy free ones do exist. At the time of writing, I use one that I buy from Makro \u2013 but all you need to do is check on the ingredients. Cocoa powder, or cacao powder work \u2013 I just prefer using Cocoa powder. Some are a \u2018may contain milk\u2019 so it\u2019s really down to you to check, especially if you have allergies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Orange<\/h3>\n

I make these with a mix of fresh orange sometimes, or orange extract \u2013 but you do what you fancy. The best orange extract I can recommend is the Nielsen Massey orange extract<\/a>! You can obviously use this recipe for a delicious vegan chocolate cupcake, sans orange, but I am chocolate orange obsessed and all so\u2026 leave it out if you wish!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I hope you love these bad boys \u2013 I\u2019m sure you will! If you have any recipe related questions, then leave them below in the comments. Otherwise, HAPPY VEGAN CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKE BAKING! x<\/p>\n
