Times are tough, and eggs are hard to come by. This cupcake recipe is based on a chocolate cake recipe that was popular during the Great Depression and uses no eggs! They’re still rich and delicious, and they’re actually vegan if you don’t use the frosting. I decided to top these with chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting, so the frosting is definitely not vegan. I also really need a new piping tip because is it just me or do these look like poop emoji cupcakes?

- Let cake cool completely before frosting.
Notes
I decided to add cannabis butter to my frosting recipe, but you could just as easily add cannabis butter or oil to the cupcake batter. The coconut oil in the cupcake batter can also be replaced with melted butter, vegetable oil, or even olive oil.
