Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter into two bowls. In one bowl, mix the cocoa powder and warm water until smooth, then fold it into the batter to create the chocolate mixture. Leave the other bowl as the vanilla mixture.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of vanilla batter into each cupcake liner, then 1 tablespoon of chocolate batter. Repeat, alternating between the two, until the liners are about 2/3 full.
Using a toothpick or a skewer, gently swirl the batters together in each cupcake liner to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, enjoy as is or frost with your favorite vegan frosting!
