How to make it
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease 28 mini-muffin cups lightly
- In a food processor, puree the cherries, stevia, coconut sugar, oil, vinegar, vanilla and cherry juice until smooth.
- Mix together the egg replacer powder and coffee, then add to the processor and blend in.
- Add flours, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and pulse in until combined, but don't "whip" it.
- Bake mini-cupcakes 15-16 minutes and cool completely in the tins (regular cupcakes take about 22 minutes).
Frosting
- In a bowl, beat together vegan shortening/margarine, sugar, salt, agave and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the cocoa powder and beat in, followed by the soy milk (you may need more or less, add slowly!).
- Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes (be careful, they're crumbly!) and top with chocolate chips.
