One bake Cupcake

ERRR hello where have l been ??? under a rock??... why did l not know about one bake goodies before... cupcakes, pies, cookies... these would have saved me in my teenage years. So I read about these while l was away on holiday and had a microwave oven only to live by. My Mother in Law had planned to bake me a cake while we were away for my birthday however there was no oven to bake with so she had to improvise, reading about them l wanted to make one, and so I decided to try making a one bake cupcake upon getting home. So now we are home and l have made one... still delicious as a cupcake is just l would judge more sweeter. If you have never made one, go for it and try.... I did not feel guilty about eating it and did not have the battle of wills of trying not to eat the rest in the batch ... as there was only one cupcake there. Enjoy!.
