These light and airy cupcakes have a real zing of ginger flavour, paired perfectly with the rich, dark chocolate ganache. And best of all? They're vegan! So everyone can enjoy them, including those with egg and lactose intolerances. You can even leave out the rum from the ganache to make these cupcakes kid and sober-curious friendly. We love an inclusive sweet treat!
