Sometimes you need a quick indulgent dessert! That’s where these simple vegan chocolate cherry cupcakes come in.
Baking vegan cupcakes
As crazy as it sounds all you need to make them is a box of cake mix and a can of some kind of carbonated drink.
Thankfully many readily available cake mixes are accidentally vegan.
For these chocolate cherry cupcakes, I used Duncan Hines Classic Devil’s Food Cake Mix and a can of Polar Black Cherry seltzer.
Simply mix them together, top with a pie cherry, and then bake following the directions on the cake box.
Once they’re cool you can frost them or top them with vegan whipped cream.
