theviewfromgreatisland – 30 second cupcake

30 SECOND  CUPCAKES IN THE MICROWAVE
1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp cocoa powder
3 Tbsp flour
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder

• Combine the above dry ingredients in a little mixing bowl. Be sure to combine well, you don’t want to bite into a lump of baking powder.

3 tsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp milk, cream, or half and half
a few drops of pure vanilla extract

• Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir to blend well. Put the batter in a two standard silicone cupcake containers or small ramekins. You can grease the ramekins if you want to turn the cake out after baking. I just leave it in and eat with a spoon.
• Microwave on regular power (100%) for 30 seconds. I watch it carefully, if it looks like it’s going to overflow, I stop the microwave and then start again. Mine took just 30 seconds exactly. I ‘baked’ mine one at a time.

Glaze/Frosting:
4 Tbsp confectioner’s sugar
2 Tbsp milk or cream
a drop of vanilla extract
(1 Tbsp cocoa powder will make it chocolate)
• Mix the above ingredients together in a small glass. Add a little more sugar or milk to get the right consistency.
• Frost the cupcakes
