SERVES 12
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 100ml OGGS® Aquafaba
- 110g Plant-based butter (we like Naturli Vegan Block)
- 100g dark chocolate
- 300ml Guinness
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 220g caster sugar
- 160g plain flour
- 50g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
Icing
- 200g plant-based cream cheese
- 125g icing sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C Fan (180°C / Gas 4).
- Prepare a cupcake tray with cakes.
- In a microwave or over a bain-marie, melt the butter and chocolate until it’s completely smooth. Once cool add the Guinness, coffee and vanilla essence. It might look a little separated at this point but panic not… it' come together once all the ingredients have been added.
- Using an electric whisk, whisk the OGGS® Aquafaba for two minutes ‘til it reaches soft peaks. Add a spoon of sugar at a time and continue whisking on a high speed until the mixture is thick and glossy.
- Combine all the remaining dry ingredients and fold in until its completely smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate mixture with a spatula or metal spoon.
- Transfer into cupcake cases.
- Pop into the oven for 25 minutes until the cakes have risen and are firm to touch.
- While your cake is in the oven, whip up your icing by combining all the ingredients in a clean bowl, and beating with an electric whisk until it’s well mixed.
- Pipe on top with a piping bag and a 5mm nozzle. Finish with a little grating of any extra chocolate you have left over!
Top Tips
- Wait until your cake has cooled down fully before you start icing it… otherwise it will melt off!
