Ingredients

Makes 2 cupcakes

For the chocolate cupcake

13 g (1 tbsp) Butter

12 g (2 tbsp) Cocoa powder

30 g (2 tbsp) Sugar

40 g (3 tbsp) Milk

20 g (2 tbsp) All purpose flour

¼ tsp Baking powder

For the chocolate frosting

50g (1.5 oz) Nutella

70g (2 oz) Cold heavy cream

Sprinkles (optional)

Method

For the chocolate cupcake

In a microwave-safe bowl melt the butter.

Add the cocoa powder and mix to combine.

Add the sugar, room temperature milk, baking powder and flour and 
mix to combine.

Transfer the mixture in 2 cupcake liners ( double or triple the liners - see the video for explanation). Fill the liners only half way.

Cook ONE cupcake at a time for 30 - 45 seconds. DO NOT overcook these or they’ll dry out.

Allow the cupcakes to cool for 10 minutes before frosting.

Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes, and optionally decorate with sprinkles.

Tips

Remember, different ingredients have different densities. So don’t get confused when you see in the ingredients that 2 tbsp of flour and 2 tbsp of sugar have different amounts in grams.

Every microwave is different. Microwave cupcakes can take anywhere between 30 and 45 seconds to cook. Be careful to not overcook your cupcakes.
