If you need a couple of cupcakes in a pinch, try this small batch cupcakes recipe! Sometimes you need a big batch of cupcakes, but sometimes you just need a couple, right?
This yummy cupcakes for two recipe is exactly what it sounds like: you end up with two cupcakes!
Perfect for when you need a cupcake (or two!) but don’t need an entire batch. What’s sadder than tossing out old cupcakes you didn’t have a chance to eat?
This is also perfect for when you need a cupcake but don’t have enough ingredients for an entire batch, which seems to be a problem I run into quite frequently. Perhaps I should plan better… :)
These cupcakes have a great vanilla flavor and are so, so good! I paired them with my favorite store bought icing – Rainbow Chip.

Hi Jamie, just found the small batch cupcake recipe which is great for my 2 grandsons. However, one likes vanilla, the other chocolate. I read the list of ingredients where vanilla is not included yet, it is in the directions. Could you please review and advise. Thank you!
