How to Make a 3-2-1 Chocolate Cupcake {Easy 1 Minute Recipe}

Here are step-by-step instructions for making this incredibly easy 1-minute cake.

Step 1: Prepare the mixture

We added 1/3 cup of cocoa powder to the mix to make the mix more chocolatey since half of the mix is ​​angel food cake. This is optional.

Once your mixture is combined, store in a jar, a tightly-lidded container, or a gallon ziplock bag. Store in a cool, dry place without too much moisture. (I keep mine in the pantry.) Mix makes 28 servings.

This recipe is great for both kids and adults.

Step 2: Make a mini cake.

Now you’re ready to make your own 1-minute individual desserts anytime you want.

You can bake your microwave cake in a coffee mug like we did, or in a microwave safe bowl or ramekin.

I have tried this recipe both with and without spraying the bowl with cooking spray. The recipe works in two ways. Your cake will rise a little if you don’t use cooking spray, but the bowl will be a little harder to clean. We usually use this recipe without sprinkling the mug and have had no problems.

YUM! Your cake is ready for you to enjoy eating. Eat plain or with delicious toppings like some chocolate chips, frosting, or whipped topping.
