Chocolate Banana Split Cupcakes

I've always had an aversion to cupcakes and I don't know why.  They are so cute and people love them, so how could I dislike them?   Six months ago I thought, "Why should I make cupcakes when I can make a whole cake?  Isn't an entire cake better?  I will NEVER make cupcakes!" 

 Alas,  I don't know when or how this switch happened, but the cupcakes have won me over.   My sudden like of cupcakes is as mysterious as my passionate-dislike.    I understand now that a mini, personal-sized cake has its appeal, and cupcakes are unargumentatively adorable.   And although they will never have the same "Ahh"-inspiring impression of a whole cake, I do recognize there place in the vegan cake world.      

Three weeks ago I purcashed my very own cupcake pan and plan to set out on a cupcake adventure.   These Chocolate Banana Split Cupcakes were inspired by Isa Chandra Moskowitz's "Banana Split Cupcakes" in Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
