vegan chocolate cupcakes with galaxy buttercream frosting

Vegan Milky Way Galaxy Cupcakes

These vegan Milky Way Galaxy Cupcakes start with an organic chocolate cupcake that has a hidden surprise inside (spoiler: it's a piece of Dreamy candy bar). The galaxy buttercream frosting is a swirl of vanilla and chocolate, and each cupcake is topped with a mix of sprinkles from baking time club. I made these for Kimmy and Lizzie's birthday weekend in Ojai. They freeze and defrost well, and stay fresh and moist. Make these for the chocolate lover or astronomer in your life.
