The appearance of these vegan chocolate cupcakes does not make you want to jump in the kitchen and cook a lot? Deep chocolate cupcakes with a silky chocolate glaze! And they are gluten -free!

What I love these cupcakes is that they provide a deep and rich chocolate flavor despite being perfectly light and soft in the consistency. Gluten -free cakes can often be flat, dense or dry. So gluten -free cooking needs some additions to help get the structure for the increase and a little help to maintain humidity Soda of the club It is my secret for light, soft, gluten -free and vegan baking products. You can use other sparkling drinks, such as ginger beer, if you prefer, as long as the taste play well with chocolate. That fizz adds a little rise and leavening before cooking which is essential to obtain the soft consistency on gluten -free cakes.
I’m on top of an incredible and rich glaze in ganache, but you can also overcome these with coconut whipped cream or your favorite vegan glaze. You need a glaze with these while the peaks dry themselves as they sit. The glaze moisten the peaks so that the entire cupcake is therefore humid! If you do bigger cupcakes. You can also season a mix of sugar and water or a little coffee to keep them more wet.
This recipe also produces excellent double chocolate muffins. Just add a few drops of chocolate and/or walnuts to the batter and at the top before cooking and you have muffins.
