Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting- I used the chocolate cake recipe as written below and topped these with chocolate cream cheese frosting and some chocolate syrup. The frosting included vegan cream cheese, coconut oil, vegan shortening {just a little}, tiny splash of butter extract, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, cocoa powder.
