ChocoSpice Cupcake

While blogwalking, I stumbled upon this quick and easy cupcake recipe made for two which suits any occasion (tea break, valentine or cravings). What's more amazing is NO BAKING is involved and it can be ready in merely 2 minutes. If you have a microwave oven, you're all set to go for this simple recipe. The only caution here is you need to have silicon cupcake liners because paper liners won’t hold their shape and foil liners are not microwave safe. Nonetheless, I opt for ramekins instead. 

Just The 2 of Us
INGREDIENTS
2 tbs all purpose flour
2 tbs brown sugar or granulated sugar
4 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp of all spice powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
4 tbs milk
1 1/2 tbs unsalted butter, melted 
1/2 egg, lightly whipped
Canned whipped cream
Sprinkles

METHOD
1. Whisk all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
2. Mix in melted butter, milk and egg until fully integrated.

3. Pour the batter equally into two ramekins.
4. Microwave on medium for one minute. The cupcake is considered cooked if it bounced back when lightly touched. If not, microwave for another minute.

5. Decorate the top with whipped cream and sprinkles.
6. Serve warm and enjoy. You have to be quick, else the heat will melt the whipped cream ;-) 
Seems like my results doesn't match what the original recipe proclaims.
If anyone try this out, please let me know..
