Yeah OK so I feel practically abused for all the demands I have gotten for this recipe! You guys really need to chill, it’s just a recipe you know.. Oh who am I kidding? Raw vegan cupcakes are the BOMB.com (or so I believe is the new catchprase you kids use these days…).
The first cupcakes I made were based on a recipe from Natalia KW‘s e-book Cupcake Heaven, so all credit goes to her. If you are interested in many more raw vegan cupcakes I highly recommend her book, it’s awesome and every recipe has a gorgeous picture that’s a feast for the eyes.
After my first raw vegan & all natural cupcake I was hooked (um and they were also more than approved by the boy, my mom & my grandparents, the latter who are picky when it comes to weird raw vegan stuff 
). But as some friends (from now on: taste-teste slaves) and I agreed: they were a tad too much on the omfg-they-are-so-sweet-I-think-my-teeth-will-fall-out side. I fixed that in the recipe. If however you like tooth-cracking sweetness, go ahead and add another teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I got cracking on my own recipe straight away and they are a keeper!
Pink Velvet Cupcakes with Chocolate Mousse Frosting
(Doesn’t the name alone make you salivate?)
As for the recipe, well, I guess you’d have to buy my raw chocolate ebook which I plan (!!) to release in December. They taste and look so awesome, and again, all natural and easy to find ingredients (a preresequite for any of my ebook recipes!) like almonds, banana, coconut oil, avocado… cool stuff huh?
In other but related news; it’s a regular cacao cornucopia up in here!
Good thing I’m balancing it all out with a hefty dose of fresh juice every day:
Enjoy your weekends all!
Love,
Sabine
Ill make these cupcakes asap!!!
hahahah Sorry you felt a bit abused..
Cupcake recipes can make people cray cray 
But seriously, this looks amazing!! will make this asap!!
It looks really tasty! I’ll have to make some room in my freezer to make them
I was just wondering, there’s an * after coconut flour, but why? 
ah thanks for noticing i forgot to add:
* Raw coconut flour can be purchased at iHerb.com. If you don’t care about the cupcakes being all raw simply sub regular coconut flour which can be found at the health food store. Coconut flour is really cool. It tastes good, it’s lower in carbs and very high in fiber!
Natalie KW’s Raw Cupcake book is really great! I made the vanilla cinnamon swirl cupcakes as well and everyone loved them (even my non-vegan or veggie friends). Great pics by the way!
raw coconut flour? is this the same stuff: http://www.unlimitedhealth.nl/shop/cocosmeel-gram-p-1062.html ?
The cupcakes looks very nice
Just a side note that these are little sugar with fat bombs, I would not define them as healthy at all, but it won’t hurt to enjoy them once in a while 
#nomnomnom
yep thats the same, just notice this one isnt raw!
while i never said these cupcakes were particularly healthy, i dont think they are UNhealthy either! instead of looking at macros, I define a food to be healthy if the ingredients are wholesome and as little processed as possible. and also by micronutrient content, but most whole foods are loaded with those. plus, the fats in these cupcakes come from healthy wholefood sources (i dont think theres a healthier source of fat than coconut!) and so are the sugars. anything healthy and natural can become unhealthy simple by eating too much of it, even fruit, so eaten in moderation I think these cupcakes will score very well
You’re annoying. “Meh meh I wouldn’t say these are healthy”. Everything doesn’t have to be 0 calories. If you like it that way then go eat celery and stay off of food blogs.
Hi Sabine, I wanted to ask you what you think about http://www.fitonraw.com. and her blogs. I’ve been reading them the last few days and they contradict a lot of your information. And they contradict what I believe too. For example, she says that juice feasting or fasting is not that beneficial and that raw cacao is bad for us and to avoid beans and ALL oils. I love LOVE your blog and I am a devoted follower. Everything you write about and say makes complete sense to me. Whereas when I read her blog, her information didn’t quite jive with me on an intuitive level. How do those of us that are striving for mostly raw organic healthy lifestyle filter through all of the information out there that contradicts one another? Do we simply go with what we intuitively feels is right and how our body responds?
I would like to respond to this question, I have been following http://www.fitonraw.com/ for more then eight months now and also bought her recipe e-book. I also like Sabine’s blog very much and both are good sources of information.
I don’t think there are a lot of contradictions. Swayze Foster is following the same baselines as I am and Sabine, but Swayze is much more stricter. See follows a combination of low-fat high-fruit high-raw vegan diet with the 80/10/10 diet, (I am following a _mostly_ raw vegan variation of that) Beans are not raw, oils are very fat and digest badly, and cacao is addictive, contains toxic theobromine and has no real benefits over for example fruit with high amounts of antioxidants. That’s why these foods are not recommended. The short juice feasting or fasting I don’t know, but I thought see did believe in the benefits of calorie restriction, giving the stomach a day rest (fasting) and long water fasting where the body goes into ketosis.
Some more on the oil and fat part, some of the books I have read (same as Swayze did), explain that a raw vegan food diet with more then 25% of fat can become unhealthy and dangerous in the long-run. The combination of lots of fats and sugars can mess up your insulin regulation and other body processes. That’s why we try to minimize the fat intake and don’t recommend those high-fat raw gourmet dishes. They can be very tasteful but should be taken with great moderation.

Hi Sabine!
What happened to your original cupcake recipe? It seems to have been deleted from your page.. I know you said that you are saving the pink velvet cupcake w/ choco mousse frosting recipe for when you release your raw chocolate e-book, but where’s your cream cheeze frosting cupcake recipe? you know, the one with the base made out of apples, coconut oil, etc.. That one doesn’t have cacao in it.
I was hoping to make a batch this weekend
Amazing! I want to eat them all.
It looks so delicious.
I love raw food!!! I feel so clean after eating this.
