eggless chocolate cupcakes recipe with stepwise photos and a quick video recipe. A cupcake is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. It is said that the cupcake is founded near around 1796.
This eggless cupcake recipe is super moist, spongy and delicious recipe. I already shared the classic chocolate buttercream frosting HERE without which of course these cupcakes are incomplete.
The method of making these cupcakes is very easy. First, you need to prepare the dry flour mixture and then properly mix it with the wet ingredients. Then, pour this mixture into the liners and just bake it in the preheated oven. And your goodies are ready.
As I have said, The frosting recipe is already here, let me tell you these cupcakes are vegan although the frosting is not vegan.
Key Ingredients of this recipe:
Oil: For making this eggless chocolate cupcake, oil is used as a fat. It makes very moist cupcakes. It stays moist even after stored for a few days in a refrigerator.
Cocoa powder: Here I have used dutch processed unsweetened cocoa powder. I have used Ghirardelli brand. The type and quality of cocoa powder used affect the final result. So be sure to use the good quality.
Vinegar: I have used white distilled vinegar. It reacts with baking soda and makes the cupcakes spongy and soft. You can use apple cider vinegar too. Many readers are asking for the substitute of vinegar – You can try with same amount of lemon juice and see. I have never tried with lemon juice.
Powdered sugar: It is also known as icing sugar or confectioner’s sugar. Keep in mind that this is not the regular sugar in powdered form.

have a nice day!
Beautiful looking cupcake, I can imagine how good they taste. I have a question, just a curiosity. I have noticed many Indian bloggers baking often without eggs. Is there a special reason behind it?
Hey first of all thanks for kind words:) and the reason of makin without eggs is there is a large number of people in india are vegetarians (not completely vegan as we consume milk). We consume cow milk and believe that cow is our mother. but apart from milk and milk products, we don’t eat any other products like eggs and meats or any other animal products. This is the main reason.
Ok. Thank you, I didn’t think about that, because usually here vegetarians do eat eggs. 😊
