  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a cupcake with cocoa in the microwave? It will take quite a few products. Prepare them. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, refined oil. Take natural cocoa, without additives, Nesquik type powder will not work. In a bowl, beat the washed chicken egg. Add plain and vanilla sugar. Use a fork to whisk the mixture until light bubbles form.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Then add flour. It can be sifted if you are at home, but if there is no sieve at hand, then put it like this. Pour in the cocoa, baking powder and add a pinch of salt. I definitely recommend adding salt to any dough, not just cupcake dough. Salt acts as a flavor enhancer.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Next, pour in the remaining liquid ingredients — kefir and vegetable oil. Mix the dough thoroughly with a fork, breaking all the lumps. The dough should be smooth and viscous.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Lubricate the bottom of dishes intended for use in a microwave oven with a drop of sunflower oil. This is convenient to do with a culinary brush. Let me remind you that not all dishes are suitable for use in the microwave! Metal, gold-plated and thin plastic will definitely not work. If you are not sure if this or that dish is suitable for a microwave, it would be better not to risk and bake a cupcake in ordinary ceramic mugs.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Pour the dough into the selected molds, dividing it in half. Bake the cupcakes in the microwave for two minutes at 800 watts. But it is best to focus on a specific microwave oven and its individual characteristics. If the dough still remains liquid after the time has elapsed, then increase the baking time. Carefully remove the finished cupcakes from the microwave. Don't get burned, they are very hot. Eat them warm or cold. Enjoy your meal!

Such a cupcake turns out to be very lush, elastic and evenly baked inside. It may even inadvertently go beyond the limits of the form, if you take one like mine: high and narrow.
Before serving, you can decorate cupcakes with powdered sugar or chocolate sauce or add fresh berries. For example, I really like these cupcakes with fresh blueberries.
The number of ingredients can be increased by a multiple of the number of eggs at the rate of one egg - two servings. For example, four servings are two eggs, six servings are three eggs, and so on. In any case, it is better to bake cupcakes in portions, so there are more chances to get an evenly baked dessert.
Bon appetit!

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Keep in mind that microwaves don't work the same way. The cooking time and recommended power may differ from those stated in the recipe. Read the instructions for your device and take into account the features of your equipment.

Baked goods cooked in the microwave, always will differ in taste and structure of the dough from the one that was made in the oven or slow cooker. It doesn't mean she's bad/good - she's just OTHER . The crumb of a cupcake, pie, casserole and so on will be unusual and it is quite possible that you will not like it. If you have doubts about the taste of dough dishes in the microwave, it is better not to cook them!
