Sometimes, I get things on the mark and this recipe has had my friends having second and third cupcakes – in one sitting… This recipe makes 23 to 24 cupcakes and is extremely indulgent and yet thoroughly pleasurable. Great if you are hosting afternoon tea…

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
