Preparation

Step 1

In cereal bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix, baking powder and salt. In another cereal bowl, combine egg yolk, liquid sucralose, OR granular sweetener equivalent, butter, heavy cream, erythritol and vanilla extract. Whisk with a fork to combine well. Add dry ingredients and whisk well to combine. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a spatula, scrape into a greased ramekin and microwave on high power 1 minute. Invert ramekin to remove cupcake. Allow to cool 1 minute and frost with approximately one quarter to one sixth of the Better than Betty Frosting. Serve immediately.

Helpful Hints: If using the chocolate chips, they will sink to the bottom of the cupcake, which is almost like having a frosted bottom and top to the cupcake. My microwave oven is 1200 Watts. You may need to cook yours a little less or a little longer depending on the wattage of your microwave oven.
