1/2 c organic unbleached sugar
1/2 c water
3 T vegetable oil
1 1/2 t distilled white vinegar

1 c vegan whipping cream
6 oz non-dairy white chocolate, finely chopped

Mock Hostess Cupcakes Glaze Ingredients

3 oz non-dairy chocolate, finely chopped
3 T boiling water

Mock Hostess Vegan Cupcakes Directions

Position a rack in the center and preheat oven to 325 F.
Lightly grease twenty-four 1-3/4×3/4 (1-oz) muffin of biscuit cups.
Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
Mix in the organic unbleached sugar.
Make a well in the center.
Whisk in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla.
Blend until smooth.
(The batter will be very thin.)
Spoon the batter into the prepared cups.
Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 12 to 14 minutes.
Cool the cupcakes in the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Remove the cupcakes from the pans and finish cooling on the rack.

Mock Hostess Cupcakes Filling Directions

In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a boil.
Add the white chocolate and remove from heat.
Let the mixture stand briefly, stir until smooth.
Transfer to a metal bowl and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, stirring occasionally.
(To speed the process, set the metal bowl over a larger bowl of ice water; stir the chocolate mixture until cool.)
With an electric mixer, beat the white chocolate mixture just until fluffy, about 1 minute.
Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain tip.
Insert the pastry tip 1/4-inch into the bottom of each cupcake and squeeze a little filling into each one.

Mock Hostess Cupcakes Glaze Directions

Place the chocolate in a small bowl.
Whisk in the boiling water and blend until smooth.
One at a time, dip the top of each cupcake into the warm glaze.
Turn the glazed cupcakes right side up and set them on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
Refrigerate the cupcakes for 5 minutes to set the glaze.
Frost with vegan cream cheese.
Serve at room temperature.
Makes 22 to 24 miniature cupcakes.
Notes:
The cupcakes can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance, or frozen up to 2 weeks.
These ultra-moist, dark chocolate mini-cupcakes are filled with creamy white chocolate ganache.

No-Chocolate Cake?

Vegan Cupcakes

I’m making a whole bunch of batches of cupcakes from a really great (vegan) chocolate cake recipe that I have. However, after a couple bacthes, I have run out of Cocoa Powder (and I’m not going to the store). I’m wondering if I could make vanilla cupcakes by replacing the 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder with 1/3 cup powdered sugar. Any input?

[I don't know why I capitalized cocoa powder, lol]
Proud: Wouldn’t the mix be a little soupier without the cocoa powder/something to compensate?
