2 Minute Single Microwave Cupcake

Because sometimes you want just one cupcake, not 24. And sometimes you want to be able to eat 7 minutes from when you start thinking about it, including prep work and cooking time. This single serving microwave chocolate cupcake takes about 5 minutes to prepare and 2 minutes to cook- perfect week night treat!

Mix Ingredients in a Cup

Any microwave-safe container will work just fine- I used a glass cup, but a mug or jar would also work.

Microwave the mixture for about 2 minutes on high- like any other cupcake, you can tell it's done by inserting a toothpick to check whether it will come out clean.

Frost/ Decorate

Now is your chance to get creative. I used vanilla frosting and chocolate chips, but you can use whatever you like.
