A recipe I found floating around on the internet, based on Jaffa candy, which I vegan-ized. We like to serve these with a simple chocolate buttercream icing in which the milk is replaced with orange juice. They're also great with your traditional chocolate buttercream, too! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cocoa powder |
2 tablespoons hot water |
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup earth balance butter substitute, softened |
3/4 cup self-raising flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup applesauce |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
2 teaspoons orange rind, finely grated |
Directions:
1. Blend cocoa powder and hot water.
2. Combine the sugar, butter substitute, flour, baking powder and applesauce in a bowl. Beat for 3 to 4 minutes until pale and creamy.
3. Put half the mixture into a second bowl. Fold the orange juice and rind into one bowl. Fold the cocoa-water into the other bowl.
4. Spoon the two mixtures evenly into lined or greased cupcake tins. Draw a knife through the mixture to create a marble effect.
5. Bake at 350°F for 20 or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
