If you love these vegan chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream, you will love these vegan cupcakes infused with chocolate in every bite and with a scrumptious raspberry and chocolate frosting on top. Valentine’s Day is special to me because it’s the day I married the love of my life. So each year, when this day rolls around, I try to find ways to make it even more special than every wonderful day I spend with him. And by now I know that the easiest way to put a smile on my sweetie’s face is with something sweet, like these vegan and dairy free Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Hearts. Chocolates and raspberries are a match made in heaven: each is delicious on its own, but when paired together they enhance each other’s deliciousness. My chocolate cupcakes are intensely chocolatey, and inside each is a little surprise: a raspberry stuffed with more chocolate. I top off all this deliciousness with a velvety frosting of buttercream flecked with more chocolate and raspberries. But their divine taste is not the only thing that’s great about these cupcakes. These are extremely easy to make and they are really, really pretty to look at. I mean, take a look at that pink frosting flecked with red and chocolate. Even the fact that I am quite possibly the world’s worst cake decorator doesn’t take away from it, does it? These vegan chocolate cupcakes are not cloyingly sweet. I add just a cup and a half of sugar to the frosting, which is very conservative by most frosting standards, but it’s more than enough because you want the chocolate and the raspberry flavors to shine through. Here’s the recipe for the vegan chocolate cupcakes with raspberry frosting and I’ll let that – and Desi’s pictures– do the talking. A very happy Valentine’s Day to all of you. And tell me, how do you plan to say “I love you” to your special one? Check to get new recipe updates by email.
