DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES | VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE .
Treat time ! These cupcakes are a favourite of my two boys. To pimp up the cupcakes- I add two squares of chocolate into the middle of the cake batter prior to baking. If you eat them warm – the cakes are supper fluffy with a rich gooey chocolate inside. If the cakes have cooled down you get a fluffy outside with a solid chocolate centre.
The frosting is made with cannellini beans which gives a super creamy texture. Their lack of flavor allows the cacao taste to shine through. ..
