One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes For Two.
Let’s face it: sometimes we all need a dessert that only makes two servings.
Sometimes we just can’t handle 12 servings.
Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in two hours. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in a matter of minutes. Sometimes it’s the best thing ever.
FYI: I have no idea what that is like.
Haven’t you always wished you could make just enough dessert for yourself? Or yourself and one other person?
Or… just yourself?
Me too.
But more often than not, I’ve found it to be a hassle to drag out the mixer, cream the sugar and butter, sift the dry ingredients and all that fun stuff for a measly two cupcakes.
What can I say? I’m lazy.
Well, I was lazy. Until I decided to make these cupcakes for two. This is only my second or third cupcake recipe completely from scratch and completely from my own recipe development, and I am so excited with the result.
It is definitely your typical white cake; fluffy and soft, full of vanilla flavor, and the perfect vehicle for some fluffy white frosting.
And it only takes one bowl! Not creaming, no mixer, no folding… just you, a bowl and a spoon. Try not eating some of that batter. Yeah right.
I think what I love most about these cupcakes is their customizability. Mr. How Sweet and I can have different flavors of frosting or even some different fruit, nuts or chocolate chips added in our cupcakes if we’d like. Meaning that I can make mine fun and fancy and he can keep his plain and boring. Nothin’ new there.
One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes for Two
Ingredients
Instructions
- 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 used some leftover white chocolate frosting.

I appreciate you so much!
I have an inkling that these “easy” cupcakes may be made nightly. Does that defeat the purpose?

I’ve made your recipe at least a dozen times now, and I’ve never had it bake in 12 minutes. It’s always closer to 20. I know my oven is okay. Does it really bake in your oven in 10-12 mins at 350?

So bummed! These didn’t work out for me. I followed the recipe exactly and combined everything in order. Turned out very dense and spongy, tasted eggy, took a very long time to cook, and stuck horribly to the cupcake liners :(
Thank you, Jessica at How Sweet!
Yesterday I made 24 cupcakes for my daughter’s class for her birthday today, enough for the 16 kids, the 2 teachers & the women in the office. Unfortunately while I was running errands yesterday afternoon, our beloved dog was able to knock 2 of the cupcakes off of the counter and happily ate them, wrapper and all. I didn’t want to make another full batch of cupcakes; even cutting the recipe in half would have made many more than I needed to replace the cupckes that were eaten. I didn’t believe I could find a recipe for just 2 cupcakes, but sure enough I found your wonderful recipe after performing a basic Google search! I was overjoyed to find your easy and delicious recipe!
Thank you!

Welp! Why did my batter make FOUR cupcakes?! Well, fret not, my one mouth can eat four cupcakes as easily as two
These turned out horribly. Dense, spongy, eggy…yuck. I followed the recipe exactly. I bake frequently and this is NOT how a cupcake should taste.

weew, looks delicious yummy, im gonna try this for breakfast tomorrow morning!
hope i’ll made it as good as you did..
These were disgusting, way too much baking powder and the taste was just wrong. I like the idea for small batches but please fix the recipe.
I just made these with my daughter and her friends. They thought they were amazing! One of the girls asked if we could make them every time she comes over.
