Strawberry Cupcakes for Two

Posted by: / Cupcakes, Strawberries

*** I survived the A/C dying, the 36 hour power outage, the 100 degree heatwave, my 2 pound kitten falling from our second story landing, the hamster habitat somehow falling over, AND the internet being down. It was a LONG weekend! I need some cupcakes!***  

I like to have an occasional cupcake without baking a dozen cupcakes and making a mess of the kitchen and doing a bunch of dishes. 
I mean, I just want to enjoy a cupcake and catch up on a complete season of Weeds; you know, like when my daughter’s is a t Grandma’s and Mr. Quart is out working… When I have the whole house to just ME! Those days seem to be few and far between, but recently, this happened 2 weekends IN. A. ROW!
Pure luxury!
So, I just love this quick and easy cupcake recipe.

Here’s What You Need:


1 egg white
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup flour
1/4 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
2 strawberries chopped into tiny pieces
Frosting and Toppings


Here’s What You Do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake 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 and fold in strawberries. 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.

My desire was to add some leftover Buttercream frosting and top it with some Merlot Chocolate fudge and a sliced Strawberries.
A perfect dessert for two (Or one, as this situation may be), with minimal mess, so I can get back to the shows!
You can also leave out the strawberry and just enjoy a plain ‘ol Vanilla Cupcake 🙂

  10. I love the idea of a recipe for only two cupcakes! My husband tends to eat one cupcake (or piece of cake), and then the rest is left to me. I don't really want to eat almost a whole cake,so this would be great!

  15. Great idea to make a small quantity. I used to make 24 at a time but freeze most of them.
    I found this via the Create & Inspire party. I have linked in a pork and apple curry.
    Have a great week.

  17. Karyn,
    These look amazing! I love that you can make only two. I am always making a whole batch of dessert and my family isn't always in the mood to eat it. Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday last week. I can't wait to see what you link up next. Have a great week.
