Microwave cupcake without cocoa

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a cupcake in the microwave without cocoa? Prepare your ingredients. This amount of ingredients is enough to make a couple of small cupcakes. To make a large cake or many small ones, you need to increase the amount of ingredients. Remove all foods from the refrigerator in advance. Take large eggs. Sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the cupcakes will turn out more tender and airy.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave and grind with sugar so that the sugar crystals dissolve. The butter should not be hot, so if it has not cooled while combining with the sugar, cool it to room temperature.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat a chicken egg into the butter mixture. Whisk the mixture until the egg breaks up. Pour in the milk, add the sifted flour with the addition of baking powder. Baking powder can be replaced with baking soda slaked with vinegar. Knead the mixture with a whisk or mixer until smooth. You may need more or less flour. Focus on the consistency of the dough. It should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grease the inside of the molds (you can use glass or ceramic bowls) with butter. You can make a cupcake in the microwave in a mug. Place two-thirds of the total volume of dough into each mold. Place cling film over the top of each ramekin; it should be tight. Place the ramekins in the microwave. If they go into the microwave, you can bake the muffins in both tins at the same time or each one separately.

5. STEP 5

   

   Set the program to 600 watts for 1 minute. Time and power are approximate, focus primarily on the features of your oven. Remove the finished muffins from the microwave. Remove the cling film from the molds. Cool slightly, then remove the cupcakes. If desired, they can be sprinkled with powdered sugar and decorated with berries, poured with chocolate glaze, or made into buttercream flowers. Bon appetit!

I didn’t even expect that a microwave cake without cocoa would be so delicious. I usually make these cupcakes with chocolate. I decided to bake in one mug instead of two ramekins. The mug was pre-greased with vegetable oil. I measured all ingredients on a scale in grams. The result is a dough similar to sour cream; it drips off the spoon like a ribbon. When I put the dough in the mug, it came out exactly in the middle. Bake for 2 minutes at 750 W. I checked the readiness with a skewer. The photo shows that the cupcake rose even higher than the mug. It turned out very airy and porous, soft! The crumb is springy and easily cut with a knife. Everything tastes balanced, I would add a little more honey for flavor. I’m thinking of trying to increase the portions and bake cake layers, I really liked the crumb.
