Need a dessert for date night, but don’t want to make a whole batch? These Raspberry & Chocolate Drizzle Cupcakes for Two can be whipped up in minutes but are pretty enough for any occasion!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I’m so excited to be joining hhgregg and KitchenAid to Cook for the Cure! KitchenAid has a 10,000 Cupcakes campaign going on right now. For every original cupcake you bake, take a picture and post to Instagram with the hashtags #10000cupcakes and #donate and tag @KitchenAidUSA. For each picture, KitchenAid will donate $1 to Susan G. Komen!
Today, I’m sharing my cupcake recipe that is making a difference. My pretty Raspberry & Chocolate Drizzle Cupcakes for Two are the perfect way to satisfy that sweet craving without having a whole batch of cupcakes in the house!
I pulled out my KitchenAid mixer and whipped up this easy cupcake recipe. Have you ever made cupcakes from scratch before? You’ll wonder why you never tried before after making this yummy recipe.
I am always itching to bake when Fall arrives. But when I’m trying to eat healthy and stay in shape for my upcoming wedding, it’s not a great idea to make a dozen cupcakes. Making two means I can enjoy a sweet treat one night without being tempted for the rest of the week.
Decorating these cupcakes was the best part! Arrange the raspberries on top however you like, and then go crazy with the chocolate drizzle. Yum!
Raspberry & Chocolate Drizzle Cupcakes for Two
Ingredients
For the cupcake batter
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
- Any white frosting, I used store bought but you can make your own or use leftover frosting
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, I used milk chocolate but any will work
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a cupcake pan with 2 liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg white and butter until combined. Add vanilla and melted butter and stir until mixed.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in milk.
- Divide the batter equally into the two liners.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set. Let cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost with any white frosting.
- Arrange the raspberries on top of the frosting.
- Melt chocolate chips and drizzle on top of the raspberries. Let the chocolate harden before serving.
What is your favorite date night dessert?

Isn’t it great? That way you can have a special dessert for date night but afterwards you won’t have tons of cupcakes staring you in the face.

Wow!! I’ve never seen a recipe for TWO cupcakes!! That’s awesome!! Great photos too. I’m going to flag this recipe and use it for my own times when I only need two!
Jenna Brussee says
It’s great for when you want a sweet treat but don’t want to end up with a whole batch of cupcakes that need eating. Enjoy!

Madison says
There have been SO many times where we could have used just two cupcakes, instead of a whole batch. I love that you broke this down to be a recipe for two!
Jenna Brussee says
It is such a handy trick to be able to do! Perfect for date nights or when you get a craving but don’t want to eat a ton of cupcakes.
Cristina says
These are so gorgeous, they just look so light and delicious! I love how there are only two of them, just perfect to share with someone special!
Jenna Brussee says
Thank you, Cristina! They were so much fun to make and decorate. And to eat, of course!
Alexis @ Chemistry Cachet says
This looks delicious! Raspberry and chocolate are the best combination! I will have to make these!
Jenna Brussee says
Chocolate goes good with just about everything for me! Enjoy.
Paige Allison says
These look SO good! I actually don’t buy or make sweets largely because I don’t want 6000 cookies sitting around or 12 cupcakes for 2 people plus a toddler on the counter. So this is a great concept!
Jenna Brussee says
It’s a great way to enjoy a special treat without risking having cupcakes in the house for days.
Sarah E says
I love recipes for two! It’s such an awesome idea 🙂
Jenna Brussee says
It’s so much fun! Since I’m usually just cooking for my fiancé and I, it’s nice to not have to make a whole batch.
