Caramel Chocolate Cupcake

I love vegan cupcakes as theyโ€™re easy to make and extremely versatile! I love being able to add any core flavor you like whether that be cookie butter, jam, fruit curd, or chocolate sauce, the list is endless! Adding as much or as little buttercream as you like is fun too (I like a lot)!

I love playing around with different toppings like vegan versions of meringue, Swiss meringue buttercream, and classic American style buttercreams. Overall… I just love cupcakes (can you tell?) and because I love them so much and today is National Cupcake Day, I thought I’d share some of my personal favorite vegan cupcake recipes with you! Enjoy!
