These are my go to cupcakes. Nobody even knows they're vegan they're so good... but it's an added bonus if I have vegan friends over! Never fail! Delicious with cream cheese frosting for non vegan folks.

I wasn't crazy about these. They were moist but texture was missing something, perhaps eggs and vanilla, choc chips. I used butter, and milk. Were not very sweet.

Hi I just want to say that I have made this recipe for a while now, they are very moist. I need approximately 24, is it OK to double the recipe?

Oh my goodness! These cupcakes are amazing! This is my go-to chocolate cupcake recipe. They always turn out amazing. I used Dutch process cocoa and they are even better than with just regular.

It's a great recipe, I use a buttered 8x8 pan and the no fail chocolate chip frosting from this site. Yum! But be warned the fat pants might need broke out if made too many times, haha, guilty.

Amazing recipe. Made several times as cupcakes and it always turns out good. I even tried doubling the recipe and putting it in a bundt pan to make a cake, and it turned out good too. When I first found this recipe, I was just looking for a moist chocolate cupcake, but it turns out that it is vegan too! I'm not even vegan, but this is still my go-to for chocolate cupcakes.

 Amazing, this is our go to recipe (New Jersey) says:
I am an avid baker, sometimes 2-3 x a day between all our meals. I have made countless cupcake recipes. My youngest stumbled upon this one day a couple years ago as she's a vegetarian, so I gave it a try. I was shocked at how moist and delicious these are. We now use it all the time just becuase its good! Highly recommended!

This recipe made it to my recipe cook collection. I love it because it is easy and doesn't require lots of ingredents. So even if you ran out of eggs or milk, you can still make it. I added semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra punch of chocolate and I reduced the salt just by not filling the measuring spoon because first time I made them, I followed the recipe to the mml and I found them turn out a bit salty. So I reduced it on second try and turned out grrrrreat the whole family enjoys them.

I used the buttermilk (oddly enough, I already had it for another recipe) and the melted butter. Turned out GREAT! Super easy to make and they are delicious. Going to ice them with a typical buttercream icing and jazz it up with some sprinkles. Thanks!
