    METHOD

    Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (flour, sugar, cacao, baking soda, salt, and baking powder). Combine the soy milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whip the mixture with a wire whisk. Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter.

    Bake at 355° F (180° C) for about 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of each cupcake comes out clean. Keep in a cool place for at least 8 hours.

    To begin making the filling, finely chop the walnuts with a knife. Make a dry paste with the cream, brown sugar, margarine, coconut, and chopped walnuts. Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. Cut the cupcakes in half horizontally and spread the filling inside. Refrigerate for one hour after joining both sides.

    Boil 3/4 cup (200 g) cream to decorate the cupcakes. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in a mixing bowl. To make a smooth ganache, whisk all of the ingredients together. Whip the remaining 3/4 cup (200 g) cream and fold it into the ganache until it has the consistency of mousse. Form a quenelle of creamy chocolate mousse with a hot spoon and place it on top of each cupcake.
