I eventually arrived at these ingredients and the steps to perfect the recipe for the easiest chocolate cupcakes. These mini sized cakes are perfect when you want to enjoy a little dessert or when you have guests over.

The microwaving time to melt the butter during Step 1 is about 50 seconds at 500 W. If you beat the egg before adding into the bowl, you can mix with a spatula or chopsticks instead of the whisk. *I also wrote in tablespoon measurements, so feel free to refer to those as well. For 9 mini cupcake liners. Recipe by Rikopin mama

Add Step 1, and mix until the mixture is no longer floury.
