"No dairy, no eggs, but these vegan cupcakes have plenty of flavor, and superb texture: they're moist and tender, and can easily be served without their frosting, if you're in a hurry. And when time's no object? The orange icing adds a tasty final touch. Bonus: if you have any Chinese friends, treat them to these cupcakes during their New Year's celebration; clementines (mandarins) are a sign of abundance and good fortune...."
