Instructions

Preheat your oven to 170°C and line a 12 hole cupcake tin with cupcake cases.
In a large mixing bowl, add your flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, caster sugar and dairy free butter. Using an electric whisk, combine until it resembles a fine sandy mixture.
In a separate jug, whisk together your soya milk, egg, vanilla and orange extract. Pour half of this mixture into the dry ingredients and using an electric whisk, mix together. Slowly add the rest of the mixture whilst continuing to whisk until fully combined.
