I’m guest posting at Oh Cake!!!!! You get to see the yummy chocolate cupcake recipe I teased you with on Facebook. Ohhhh and another surprise! I’ve been working on a cookbook for months now! It is 2/3rds done and this is one of the recipes:D I’ll keep you updated on the progress. The theme of the book is low carb, gluten free treats. I’m soooo excited to see what the cover art looks like and the final book.
Hop on over to Jessica’s blog, Oh Cake to read the post.
This is a delicious 4 ingredient gluten free and low carb cupcake. I wanted to provide you with something that did not require any special ingredients or skills. The cupcake will probably be the fastest cupcake you have ever made. Drum roll….. 1 minute to bake. Best of all if you love to bake you probably have the ingredients in your pantry right now. Let’s get started making what I call the 1 Minute Flourless Chocolate Cupcake.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp of preferred sweetener *I used raw honey, but if you are not used to making anything low carb you might prefer to start with 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener .
- 1/4 tsp of baking soda
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together the egg, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Lastly add the baking soda and mix.
- Pour the batter into microwavable silicone cupcake liners, or 1 medium bowl (to make a small cake), or 3 small bowls (to make it cupcake size), people often use a coffee mug too. I found that one batch made 3 cupcakes. *If you are using bowls or a coffee mug you should lightly grease the inside with butter, coconut oil, or your preferred cooking fat.
- Microwave all three cupcakes at once for 1 minute or until baked. *Note, the batter will rise very high at first and then deflate as it is finished baking.
- Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean it is finished, if not microwave for a few more seconds.
- Eat!
Enjoy,
Carol

This recipe is a godsend! It’s so quick and easy and DELICIOUS! Kills my sweet and chocolate cravings.
Thank you Carol!!!
Thank you soooo much!!!! We all need something to help with our chocolate cravings.
How can I cook these in a regular oven? I don’t use a microwave. Thanks
I would suggest experimenting with the temperature & time used to bake regular cupcakes.
Thank you so much for this! It’s exactly what I need for when my (GF,CF,SF,PF)son’s teacher doesn’t give me a notice they are giving the kids cupcakes. Pinned and printed to have on hand at all times.
You’re welcome!
Looks delish, and i want yo make it NOW…but… I don’t own a microwave. Can i bake it the oven? Time & temp.?
I’ve never tried baking this in the oven. I would suggest experimenting with the temperature & time used to bake regular cupcakes.
Thank you for this recipe!!! Just made the kiddies some to take to daycare tomorrow! I think they will love them…. I sure did:)
Awww that’s cute!
I am new to Paleo, a friend suggested this to satisfy my sweet tooth and it delivered. Very good!!
It’ll help beat those chocolate cake cravings!
Can you cook this is a regular oven too? How?
yes, but I have never tested it.
I had to make this twice. The first time around I misread the recipe and added 1 T of baking soda. No amount of water could flush that away….
The second time around I was very impressed. This will calm a chocolate craving but it didn’t satisfy my sweet tooth. I used 1 T honey but might try maple syrup next time. Maybe even more coconut oil for a different flavor.
I would make this again!
wow 1 tablespoon of baking soda would have been very very bad
Try adding a chocolate icing to make it calm you chocolate craving.
Hi- I am SO excited to try this. I am only 29 years old and just diagnosed as diabetic…So I’ve gone from eating however I want to a VERY strict low card diet and it has NOT been easy, to say the least. my question is- do you have the actual nutritional information available anywhere? Particularly the # of carbs? I am having to keep track of every single carb, so it would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!
I no longer provide nutritional info. You can look it up very easily in a free system like fatsecret.com I used to use it when I was tracking carbs.
