I could never be a vegan, but my brother brought me to this bakery in Asheville a few years ago. We both got fudge cupcakes w/ fudge frosting & we ate them in his truck. After we finished he told me they were vegan.
How this woman did it I don’t know, but they were moist & buttery & to this day the most fantastic cupcake I’ve ever eaten. Weird but true.
Sometimes we have to make desserts vegan to eat after a meat meal, and the key is good quality coconut oil. And of course chocolate - I bet she used good quality chocolate.
