Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 120 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 180 ml Plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 75 ml Neutral plant-based oil (such as vegetable or canola)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Vegan dark chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons Orange marmalade
- 200 grams Vegan chocolate frosting or ganache
- 6 pieces Candied orange slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, plant-based milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, use a small spoon or cupcake corer to remove a small section from the center of each cupcake. Fill each hole with about 1/2 tablespoon of orange marmalade.
Top the filled cupcakes with vegan chocolate frosting or ganache, spreading it evenly over the top.
If desired, garnish each cupcake with a candied orange slice for a decorative finish.
Serve and enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Orange Jaffa Cupcakes!
