Cupcakes for Two

Two posts in one day?! I know, I know but since my first post was baby related I thought I should also share something non-baby.

 

This was my breakfast this morning.

I wish I was joking.

Scratch that.

It was awesome.

 

Anyone who knows me, like REALLY knows me is aware of my LOVE of cake.

And not just any old cake either.

Birthday Cake.

Vanilla birthday cake with vanilla buttercream.

I die.

At least once a month I get an overwhelming craving for birthday cake and will bake up a big batch of cupcakes only to eat about five and then want to projective vomit.

What a predicament!

 

Well, I found the answer to my problems while perusing Pinterest.

Cupcakes for two.

Genius!

 

This recipe makes two regular sized cupcakes OR my favorite, six mini cupcakes.

 

One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes for Two
serves 2
1 egg white
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla (yes, a full teaspoon – they are super vanilla-y!)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 2 liners.

In a bowl, add egg white and sugar and whisk until combined. Add in vanilla and melted butter and stir until mixed. Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in milk. Divide batter equally between the 2 cupcake liners.

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, or until cake is set. Let cool completely, then frost as desired.

I know, life changing right?

 

Enjoy!
