Express Chocolate Cupcake

I was looking for something easy to bake last Saturday. I wanted a fast, simple and easy recipe. So, I ended up whipping up these very easy and fast chocolate cupcakes. Just took me few minutes to put them into oven. It is so easy that even a person who doesn't know how to bake can come out with this cupcake.

Initially,  I thought of frosting the cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkle some rainbow sprinkles on top. The angel me and the lazy me fought in my head and the lazy me won the battle. That is why the cupcakes are naked without any frosting.  Haha! Nevertheless,  they are good on their own. If you ask me, they don't need any frosting. Moreover, cake with frosting translate to more work for the lazy mummy.  Why? Frosted cake = messy kids.

Finally, after all the blah blah blah, we have the recipe. Yay!!
