Week 17 Dish 2: Vegan mulled wine chocolate cupcakes

I was inspired to make this recipe after a friend made a non-vegan version. I tried them yesterday and they were really delicious! Hope you enjoy them...

Makes 12
Ingredients
175 g plain flour
20 g cocoa powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
150 g soft brown sugar
1/2 tsp mixed spice
50 ml oil
175 ml mulled wine
Juice and zest of one orange
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 decrees C and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners (I used silicon cupcake cups).
2. Sift all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then all the rest of the ingredients and gently fold together until smooth.
3. Divide the batter between 12 cupcake cups and bake for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tray before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
