While these chocolate spice cupcakes for two take only five minutes of prep time and “bake” in the microwave for just ninety seconds, there is nothing simple about their taste. Brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice bring the best part of the classic spice cake to a cupcake that will thrill chocolate lovers. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream and festive sprinkles.
Be sure to microwave the cupcakes in silicone cupcake liners – paper liners won’t hold their shape and foil liners are not microwave safe.

The recipe sounds good only, none of your recipes make notation of adjustments for high altitude. I live in the mountains and live at 10,000 altitude. Mary Ann

Hi Paula, massive fan here! I know it sounds ridiculous, but I don't have a microwave!? Can I just pop these babies in the oven? They sound delish! If so, which temp and for how long? x

I watch your show daily. You have inspired me to write a book of cakes. It is now published and may be seen as an ebook on Trafford Publishing, Amazon and Barnes&Nobles;. Thank you so much for the inspiration. WE both have acquired type two diabetes. Not an easy thing to deal with.

Lorien - I found them at Michael's, but I'm not sure if they still have them after Valentine's day. You can buy them online here: http://su.pr/1mqV3z Anon - Don't worry. There isn't a typo. The egg does the leavening in this recipe.

I could not find these sprinkles ANYWHERE! I've never been so frustrated in my life :-( Any idea where to get them?

I LOVE your recipes and have most of your books. Today, Saturday, 2-12-11, I saw a recipe for Chocolate/Coffee Cupcakes. I'd love to make them for my grandchildren as the last one is going off to college after this year and this is the end of line that has been so much fun. Love You, Claire

I doubled the recipe to make the measurements easier(what do I do with the leftover 1/2 egg?) just tried one while still too warm to frost.good taste and texture. easiest cupcakes I have ever made. I am very happy with this recipe and will try others now that I know how good they can be,thank you Paula.

I love reading about your family and seeing your pictures. I respect the fact that you are teaching your son's family values because so much of that seems to be going by the wayside anymore..maybe someday we will meet and by that time your son's may even have their own cooking show.lol..wishing you lots and lots of love from this country girl's kitchen to Brooke Deen's kitchen of love.
