Those of you that have more baking experience will laugh at this observation, but there really is no acceptable substitute for all-purpose flour in a cupcake recipe. I learned this with the first two batches of cupcakes my wife and I attempted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. While the first batch was rather tasty, they turned out somewhat... concave.

But last weekend we finally got around to visiting a "regular" grocery store, where we found some unbleached all-purpose flour we simply had not been able locate at Whole Foods after two previous visits. Proper ingredients on hand, my wife was able to bake up these delicious chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache the other night:


I don't recommend licking the screen. It just isn't the same. I do recommend a companion cup of vanilla-flavored organic soymilk.
