These cupcakes would make a great low stress Valentine dessert or a nice treat to give to friends or maybe even put in the car of your sweetie with a nice note so that he/she finds it in the morning on the way to work. 🙂
My daughter, Annabelle made these cupcakes for me yesterday-- she decided to add Walnuts on top of some of the cupcakes just because she knows I like walnuts. Sometimes with baking you just know someone loves you.
After when I was looking at the recipe I realized it is a convenient and easy recipe - only one bowl and you don't need eggs, milk or butter! This also means they are vegan- who knew vegan could taste sooo good!

One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes
So chocolatey and good. A good recipe when you don’t have any milk, eggs or butter!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sugar
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups water
- ¾ cup vegetable or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white or cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix dry ingredients in a big bowl- Sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa.
- Mix in water, oil, vinegar and vanilla to your dry ingredients in the big bowl until smooth.
- Pour batter into muffin tins with paper cupcake liners and bake for 25 minutes.
Chocolate Lovers: Option to add a half cup of chocolate chips into the batter... so good when they come out of the oven and chocolate is melty and delicious.
Nuts- We also add walnuts on half the cupcakes. We place slightly chopped walnuts right on top of the cupcake after pouring into the pan.
