Eggs has been an essential ingredient whenever I bake cakes. However, I was planning to bake something for a friend who is on a vegetarian diet and had to bake something without the use of eggs. I searched the internet for a perfect recipe and found the recipes for vegan choc cupcakes with many reviews from Allrecipes.com.
While reading the reviews, I realised that for strict vegetarian, there seems to be a need for all natural ingredients. To be safe, I followed the recommendations such as replacing normal flour with unbleached flour and normal sugar with raw unrefined sugar.
The cupcakes turn out looking like muffins. My oven temperature was not stable during the baking process, not sure if it is the result of not baking for more than half a year. Haha... Anyway, this cupcake was full of chocolate goodness... too chocolaty in my opinion. Also, it has a little bit of flour taste and a weird aftertaste. The weird aftertaste might be from the use of vinegar. I might have under-mixed the batter, which resulted in the flour taste. Anyway, this is a recipe which I personally will not try for a 2nd time. I did not even give it to my friend...
