  1. My daughter has egg and milk allergies so I've had a hard time finding treats for her to eat. This recipe is really wonderful--very close to an old fashioned chocolate cake. I made a few substitutions: 1c. cocoa and 1-3/4c. sugar instead of the chips, 1teas. baking powder instead of the cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Thank you!
     
  2. These were really yummy
     
  3. Made these tonight because my daughter request chocolate cupcakes for her birthday - I loved their healthier ingredients but they were really crumbly. Taste was good though
     
  4. A fantastic vegan recipe. I followed it to the letter and it made *12* big cupcakes, not 6. The caps were big and crunchy kind of like a cookie and the insides were moist and light. Tell all your vegan friends.
