They’re rich, bold, and unapologetically caffeinated—like the ex you wish you could forget, but in dessert form.
They’re moist, decadent, and just the right kind of dramatic without ghosting your self-respect or your pantry.

Bake these when your boss breathes too loud or your dating app delivers chaos.
They’ve got your back (and your sweet tooth).
Coffee and Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
Fluffy, rich, and deliciously intense vegan cupcakes made with strong coffee and dark chocolate. Perfect for emotional eating and showing off.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup brewed strong coffee
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup neutral oil like sunflower or canola
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped vegan dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line your cupcake pan and whisper affirmations to your batter.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry drama.
- In another bowl, mix sugar, coffee, milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla until it looks like a latte you’d overpay for.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir until smooth—but don’t overdo it. You’re making cupcakes, not cement.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks. Try not to eat them all while stirring.
- Divide batter into liners, filling each about ¾ full. You’re not here to bake half-hearted cupcakes.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes. A toothpick should come out mostly clean (a little goo is sexy).
- Cool completely before frosting—or just devour them warm like the rebel you are.
