Hi Madhu
I am new to this site and really enjoy it. I was looking for eggless and vegan recipes as we are fasting here before Easter (in Greece). I have not seen flax seed powder here. Would you recommend I used tofu and if so how much ?
Your recipes look fantastic and definetely healthy,
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Katy

Hi Katy, sorry I couldn’t get back to you immediately. Reg. tofu, it is a good substitute but I’m not sure how it would work in this particular recipe because it’s already dense with the applesauce. If using silken tofu you would have to use 1/2 cup of blended tofu in place of two eggs. I’m guessing the cupcake would be very moist and heavy. You could also try 4 tablespoons of plain yogurt whisked with 4 tablespoons of water instead.

Hello
Can this be baked in a round 9 inch baking pan?
Thank you for all wonderful eggless,vegan and healthy, tasty recipes.

You can bake it in a 9 inch cake pan, but it’s going to take some time to cool before you can cut it. Also the baking time will be around 35-40 minutes.

Hi Madhu! I am going to bake 3 dozen of this for an MLK bake sale this Saturday! However, my son’s allergic to apples, and I have to avoid applecause. WHat do you recommend I replace applesauce with, in this recipe? Other fruits to avoid (because they’re in the same family) are: peach, plum, pear, prune, apricot, nectarine. –Deepa

How about dates soaked in hot water and then ground into a smooth paste? Even bananas should be fine, if you like the chocolate/banana combination. You can also go with beet puree. Check out Jugalbandi’s vegan beet and chocolate cake posted last week.

Thank you for celebrating with me.
I love chocolate brownies and do bake them in cupcake liners too, when I need to pack them.
Applesauce is a good substitute for fat, especially on cakes.

Madhu, I cannot find in your step-by step where you add the chocolate chips.

Oops, I missed it. Thanks for notifying me. You can add it with the flour/dry ingredients. Will update it in the recipe.
