I didn't make the cake, just the frosting, but it was great! so easy and quick and really rich! I did add a bit more cocoa powder as it was really sweet, and used almond milk instead of soy.

this recipe was great. My cousin is allergic to dairy but she loves chocolate. These were a great surprise for her when I made them. The only adjustment I made was using light brown sugar for part of the white sugar in the cake recipe. But they tasted just like regular cupcakes!!

These are fantastic. So moist and chocolatey. I halved the recipe with no problems. Mine didn't really rise up much at all either so next time I might fill them a little more since some of them barely reached the top of the paper lining. At first I was having trouble with the frosting. When I added the milk (I used almond milk) it was too cold or something and no matter how hard I tried it would just not get smooth. So I stuck it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and that worked perfectly. I ended up with a perfectly smooth and creamy frosting. Even my picky 2 year old (the reason we are now dairy and egg free due to allergies) loved them! I will definitely use this to make cakes as well.

These were a huge hit at my daughter's birthday party. We were the only vegans, but there were lots of people going for seconds! This recipe is very moist and rich. The frosting was great — in my opinion, it finished them off. I did swap out the soymilk for almond milk. We'd definitely make them again. Thanks for sharing!

These vegan chocolate cupcakes are the BEST! I'm not vegan but I make them for my son who is. I took a dozen to a baby shower where there were non-vegans with non-vegan cupcakes and the ones I took were gone in a flash. I make them everytime I'm in the mood for something rich and chocolatey and if my son is lucky I share them with him.

Everyone loved these. I'm not vegan...I made them for a coworker who is, but they were hit with everybody. Actually, the best cupcakes I think I've ever made. They taste just like Hostess cupcakes, except better!! Very moist, very chocolaty, very delicious! As far as rising goes, mine seemed to do well, but I don't know if it's because of the amount I used in each cup or not. I used a 1 oz. spring-loaded scoop to put 2 scoops of batter into each cup and they turned out perfect.
