Two. Ingredient. Chocolate. (Cup)Cake.

Two ingredients.
Seriously.
P.s. I bought chocolate at CVS just so that I could make this. Lol.



  • 160 grams of Chocolate
    • In the case of these 120 gram Hershey Symphony Milk Chocolate bars, that's an entire bar plus six segments
  • 3 Eggs
    • yolks and whites separated
The entire instructions can be found here, courtesy of Ochikoren on YouTube.

For those who don't want to watch the video:
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2) Use a mixer whip the egg whites to make meringue until soft peaks form. Basically this means aerate the hell out of the egg whites. 


3) In a double boiler melt chocolate until smooth.

4) Mix melted chocolate with egg yolks.


5) Mix in a third of the meringue.

6) Carefully fold in the rest of the meringue half at a time. 

7) Either transfer to a cake pan (I didn't have one, lol) or into a cupcake pan.

8) Lightly tap the cake pan against counter to remove excess air bubbles.

9) Bake for 30-40 minutes.


10) Let cool before serving.


Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Cost Breakdown:
  • Chocolate: $1.50 x 22/16= $2.06
  • Eggs: $2.79/12= $0.23 
    • $0.23 x 3= $0.69

Total: $2.06+ $0.69= $2.75 for either a whole cake
OR
$2.75/7 cupcakes= $0.39 per cupcake
