Milk – 3 tablespoons

Vegetable Oil – 3 tablespoons

Vanilla Essence – 2 teaspoons

Chocolate Chips – 3 tablespoons

Procedure

Take a large microwave safe ceramic mug. Put all the dry ingredients, which is, the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and mix them thoroughly making sure there are no lumps. Then, drizzle in the wet ingredients, which is, the milk, oil, vanilla essence. Blend everything together until smooth using a small whisk or fork. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips gently.

Luxe Velvet 

Ingredients

Flour – 2 ⅕ cups

Sugar – 2 cups

Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons

Cocoa Powder – ⅕ cup

Butter (softened) – 1 cup

Eggs – 4

Milk – ⅕ cup

Sour cream – 2 tablespoon

Food colour – 2 teaspoon

Sprinkles/candies

Muffin cups – 8 – 10

Procedure

Set the oven to preheat at 350°. Sift in the dry ingredients, that is, the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder to make sure there are no lumps.

Whisk the butter and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric beater at medium speed. You may use a hand whisk as well and skip a gym day. When the butter turns light and fluffy, beat in the eggs one at a time. Now, add the dry ingredient and fold it in into the mixture until completely incorporated.

Line the muffin tray with paper cups and spoon in the batter until it fills the cup halfway and bake for 20 mins or until a toothpick comes clean when inserted in the cupcakes.

For an easy breezy frosting, place a marshmallow on top of each baked cupcake and microwave them for 30 secs. Your batch of cupcakes will come out coated in a layer of luxurious marshmallow frosting.

Now, take eight of the cupcakes and use candies or sprinkles to trace the alphabets of “thank you” on each one. Place them carefully in a pretty box in correct order so they spell your feeling correctly.

Having mastered the art of making your “thank you” as sweet as a cake, the final step is the “thank you” cake delivery part which should be as sweet. You may deliver these innovative cakes yourself along with a bunch of flowers or head to the nearest courier service to have them deliver it secretly and surprise the person you want to thank for their part in your journey. They will be touched beyond words.
