Instructions
Microwave Chocolate Cupcake for Two
- Mix dry ingredients together in a small bowl or mug until combined.
- Add in melted butter (or oil), milk and vanilla, and stir with a small whisk or fork until smooth.
- Separate batter between 2 large baking cups (approx 6cm diameter).
- Place first baking cup in the middle of the microwave and cook for 1 min on medium-high.
- Remove the cupcake once cooked, and repeat the process with the other cupcake (the best way to obtain evenly risen cupcakes).
Chocolate Frosting for Two
- Using a small spatula, mix the butter well in a bowl until smooth.
- Add in the cocoa powder and stir until there are no more lumps, then gradually add in icing sugar until the frosting is creamy and thick.
- If the mixture is too thick to spread, add in a dash of milk to loosen it up.
- Transfer frosting to a small piping bag with your chosen nozzle attached, and pipe onto the 2 cupcakes, alternatively just ice by hand with a small offset spatula.
