In light of Paula Deen's proclimation that today is National Vanilla Cupcake Day, I thought it only proper that we share a Vanilla Cupcake recipe. But not any old cupcake recipe. A recipe for two.
No one want to make a whole batch of cupcakes for one person, that is a lot of cupcakes, so why not just make two. I found this recipe on a fantastic blog: How Sweet It Is.
One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes for Two
serves 2
1 egg white
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla (yes, a full teaspoon – they are super vanilla-y!)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 2 liners.
In a bowl, add egg white and sugar and whisk until combined. Add in vanilla and melted butter and stir until mixed. Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in milk. Divide batter equally between the 2 cupcake liners.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, or until cake is set. Let cool completely, then frost as desired.
I always have extra buttercream, fondant, cream cheese icing, you name it, it routinely sits in my fridge. So if you make these and need some icing, just give me a call.
