Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes

When you want to share sweets with vegan friends and family, use this recipe as a substitute for those in the Special Occasion section. These cupcakes are not only gluten free, they are also made without dairy or eggs—not an easy feat. Make your own delicious creation by pairing them with Vegan Buttercream (page 95), Vegan Chocolate Frosting (page 92), or Vegan Coconut Whip (page 94). Thanks to Ali Segersten from wholelifenutrition.net for giving me a head start on this recipe.
