Delicious 5-minute melt-in-your-mouth cupcake recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp melted butter (or oil)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: chocolate chips, sprinkles, or fruit bits

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
3. Fold in any add-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles if using.
4. Divide the batter evenly between two microwave-safe mugs or silicone cupcake molds.
5. Microwave one cupcake at a time on high for 60–90 seconds (depending on your microwave wattage). The cake should rise and be springy to the touch.
6. Let it cool slightly and enjoy warm – optionally topped with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of syrup.
