Pumpkin goes really well with chocolate, and this dairy and egg free cupcake is a lovely combination to create a great vegan chocolate pumpkin cupcake. Vegan baking doesn’t need to be complicated; these dairy and egg free cupcakes are simple to make and look lovely when decorated with vegan buttercream.
