Who want’s their chocolate cake and to eat it too? I worked on this recipe with Nature’s Charm to create these delicious sugar-free chocolate cupcakes, including the buttercream. It’s a rich, moist recipe that’s not overly sweet. These cupcakes use one of the latest products from the Nature’s Charm range – their Sugar Free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk. You only need one can for this recipe. I can get this at my local supermarket or online. They are a well known international vegan brand, so you shouldn’t have any issues locating their products no matter where you are. I was happily surprised by this product. I’m always testing sugar-free vegan products for baking and a lot of them produce a weird aftertaste. However this product was pleasantly sweet without a weird fake sugar flavours.
This recipe is very simple and not overly sweet, it focuses more on the rich chocolate flavour. The buttercream is also so easy to create and very creamy.
