What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup milk
What to Do
-
Line a microwave-safe 6-cup muffin pan with paper liners, or place paper liners side by side in a microwave-safe 7-inch by 11-inch baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until well blended.
-
Spoon mixture into paper liners and cook in microwave at 80 percent power 3 minutes. Remove cupcakes and let cool before serving, or frosting, if desired.
-
For serving, you can make these really festive in no time by frosting cooled cupcakes with your gang's favorite frosting-homemade or store-bought-and topping with colored sprinkles. Oh, and remember to use paper, not aluminum, muffin liners in microwave oven.
Notes
Did you know that chocolate melts perfectly in the microwave? Simply heat it at 80 percent power, uncovered, until shiny and almost melted, then stir until completely melted and smooth. Then, for a delicious treat, simply dip strawberries, marshmallows, or practically anything else you want in the melted chocolate!
