from Vegan With a Vengeance

for the veg*n potluck

We took it Mexican-style.

Mark made the enchilada casserole, two salsas, and guacamole.

I made the 7-layer dip and Margarita cupcakes.

Here are the pics:

This is a very versatile basic chocolate cupcake recipe. I've baked German Chocolate Cupcakes with it, as well. It's just a matter of what you add and which frosting you use. They're all delectable.
