Oh My Chocolate!! These Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes are super chocolatey and rich. You are going to LOVE them. Plus, they’re easy to make, with just a handful of ingredients.
Perfect for those with egg allergies, but also great for those who ran out of eggs and are having a chocolate emergency. I can attest that chocolate emergency is a real thing [wink].
These were a hit with my family. They got 1230 stars and 2863 thumps-up. Now you can have an idea of how delicious they are. LOL.
These Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes may just be the moistest, fluffiest and most delicious cupcakes I’ve ever eaten!
These Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes are incredibly fluffy and bursting with chocolatey-buttery flavor.
For the frosting, I made my Nutella buttercream, but you can use anything you like. If you are looking for a shortcut you can use a store-bought frosting.
I usually make bigger batches of cupcakes because it’s so easy to just put them in the freezer and then defrost one for a birthday or school parties or whenever the mood strikes.
Freezing cupcakes is super convenient.
For example, when my daughter has to attend a party I defrost a cupcake, add some icing and lots of sprinkles, of course, and pack it in this super convenient and cute cupcake container.
HOW TO FREEZE CUPCAKES
First, let cupcakes cool COMPLETELY. Then, wrap cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap and place individually-wrapped cupcakes in a plastic double zipper quart freezer bags. Freeze the cupcakes for up to 1 month. I recommend freezing them without any icing or frosting on them as some icings can turn watery as they defrost. To defrost, unwrap cupcakes and bring them to room temperature.
Can I make this recipe into a cake?

Do I have to use self-rising flour?
Not necessarily. You can use all-purpose flour but for each cup of flour add 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder + 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Do I have to use buttermilk?
Yes, buttermilk is necessary for this recipe.
HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK?
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let stand for 5 minutes. The milk will get thicker and clumpy and is ready to use in any recipe calling for buttermilk.

Would this recipe work for vanilla cupcakes if I left out the cocoa and coffee? Or would the vanilla recipe work for chocolate by adding cocoa and coffee?
I’m needing to make a batch of both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes so I’m just trying to figure out if I can make it easier on myself by having 1 recipe with just a few minor differences! 😉
Hello Carrie! I replied to your previous comment below =)
I’m curious as to why the chocolate version calls for quite a bit more ingredients than the vanilla version?

Hello Carrie!! Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe. This recipe has more ingredients because I wanted the texture and flavor to be super decadent. I haven’t tried this recipe to make vanilla cupcakes, and neither the vanilla recipe to make chocolate cupcakes…sorry. If you want to try, I would suggest using the vanilla cupcake recipe, then divide the batter according to how many chocolate cupcakes you need to make and then add the cocoa (dissolved in boiling water; 1/4 cup cocoa + 1/4 cup water). I would start with 1/4 cup of cocoa per cup of flour. Please take this as a suggestion, as I mentioned before, I haven’t tried this. Hope this help!
I tried this recipe, it was awesome, thanks for the recipe. Yummy cupcake!!!
Hello Disha! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! =)
Hi Oriana
So I tried these and as tasty as they were, they literally broke apart. You could not hold them and eat them like a normal cupcake. I followed the recipe to the letter. They also rose and then fell flat. Same thing happened with your red velvet cupcakes. What am I doing wrong?
Hello Prishila, It sounds like the cupcakes did have enough structure. Make sure to measure flour properly:
The best way is to use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then I use a knife (straight-edged) to level the flour across the measuring cup.
If the cupcakes sunk in the middle, there are three main reasons for this:
1- the oven door has been opened before the cupcakes have set,
2- the cupcakes didn’t go in the oven as soon as the mixture was ready or
3- there’s too much raising agent.
Hope this help! Thanks for trying my recipe.
Do you know if these can be made into mini cupcakes? I need to make some for my mom’s birthday. I love the chocolate cake, so I know this will be just as good!
Hello Jennifer! Yes, you can bake these into mini cupcakes. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it. 🙂
