I’ve now made these twice in the last week — had the brilliant idea of making Mexican chocolate cupcakes to bring to family gathering with similar theme, conducted a Google search and found your recipe, whipped them up (doubly excited that they were vegan!!), then had second thoughts as my in-laws can be a bit wimpy when it comes to spicy…. no need for nerves, they LOVED them (and the adults were delighted that they finally had their own dessert that the kids were too scared to wolf down!). I was even more excited that I got everyone hooked on something vegan!! My mother-in-law declared them “perfect” (along with the disclaimer(?) that she “knows cupcakes”). They were so much of a hit that everyone took the extras home, we were left with only enough to get me through to making another batch for my knitting group and, then, alas, we are without again….. I think I’ll laminate the recipe. Thank you!

I made these for Cinco de Mayo – delicious! I replaced 1/4 cup of the flour with an additional 1/4 cup cocoa powder to make them extra rich and chocolate-y , and used 1 slightly rounded tsp cayenne pepper. This gave a heat that kind of crept up on you – not apparent when you first taste the cupcake, but it builds to leave a tingle on your tongue! As I’m not vegan, I topped these with Swiss meringue buttercream frosting flavored with vanilla and cinnamon, and decorated them with mini marshmallows.
