An easy 3 Ingredient Chocolate Cupcake made with flour, eggs, and chocolate chips.  These chocolate cupcakes are more on the dense side, but delicious and satisfying.

 

Tips on How to Make 3 Ingredient Cupcakes

• When making big batches of cupcakes, just multiply the listed ingredients according to the number of cupcake pieces you need
• It is important that before measuring your all-purpose flour, sift it in a fine flour sieve to avoid lumps in your cupcake.
• Always remember that spraying your cupcake liners is a must. This is helpful especially in recipes where no oil or any fat/shortening is added. The cooking spray prevents your baked products from sticking in the liners.
• When melting chocolate, be careful not to put your stove on a very high heat. It will burn your chocolates and it will also cause it to curdle.
• After baking your cupcakes, you can always be playful on what frosting you would like to have. My suggestions would be Nutella, cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, chocolate frosting or ganache, vanilla buttercream, peanut butter, or just plain confectioner’s sugar.

 

How to Make 3 Ingredient Cupcakes:

You will need just 3 ingredients for this delicious cupcake recipe and for sure, you can find all of these in your pantry – 3 eggs, chocolate chips, and all-purpose flour:

Preheat oven to 350 F, line 6 cupcake tins with liners and spray with oil. This is an important step that you don’t want to miss because as we have not added any oil/shortening as in ingredient, there is a tendency that the cupcake will stick to the paper cups even after baking:

In a large bowl add 3 eggs and whisk it well. You can either do it with a wire whisk or a hand mixer:

Add the all-purpose flour and mix until you see no lumps:

The consistency has to be slightly runny, just like this. Set this bowl aside.

In a saucepan, add the chocolate and melt the chocolate until it is nice and smooth:

Stir it consistently so you won’t burn the chocolate. If it still has big lumps of chocolate, continue stirring it:

Once the texture is nice and smooth, you can now add the egg mixture to the chocolate and mix very well:

You can see that it will turn out glossy and smooth:

Take your cupcake pan that is lined with 6 cupcake liners and add the batter into the liners:

Don’t worry if your cupcake liners do not look neat after adding the batter. It will hold up its shape and will turn out pretty once it is baked.

After baking for 15-18 minutes, here is your 3 ingredient cupcake, smelling so delicious and chocolatey!

I was so excited to take a spoon and taste it, and indeed, it’s perfect! The cupcake texture was moist and it was not too sweet since we did not add any granulated sugar. Perfect to have with a cup of brewed coffee!
