Single serving cupcakes

If you have been around my blog for a while you know that I am obsessed with finding recipes that make small amounts of desserts. I will literally try anything that says for one. I have however learned my lesson that nothing can be made in the microwave and not taste terrible. This recipe uses the oven so I was pretty sure that it would work.

White cupcakes for two (or one)

1 egg white
2 tbsp sugar (white)
2 tbsp butter melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 c flour
1/4 heaping tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tbsp milk

1- Whisk together first two ingredients, add the next two and keep stirring.
2- Add the remaining ingredients and stir until mixed up (in my hands this was pretty runny, just so you know).
3- Divide the batter between two lined muffin tins
4- Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. In the original post she indicated 12 minutes would work but it took about twice as long for me.


A quick buttercream

1/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 tbsp butter (softened)
drop of vanilla
milk

1- Stir together the butter and powdered sugar add vanilla
2- Add milk until desired consistency
3- I added chopped strawberries to see if I could make strawberry buttercream

I wish I was lying to you when I admit that these are going to be apart of my regular dessert rotation. They were incredible, for a moment I considered no eating both of them and then realized that I didn't care I live alone so I can eat two cupcakes without sharing. They were sooo good. The buttercream was just a tad runny but still good. I will probably work on that recipe eventually but it was good. These are a little different in texture than a boxed cake mix but they did remind me a bit of the vanilla cupcake that I got in Charleston. So overall a win. I think this is the first single serving dessert that was not terrible, I think it is the fact that it is made in the oven and the ingredients have time to really work together. I have a recipe for chocolate cupcakes for two and I am looking forward to trying that one pretty soon and letting you know how it turns out!
