Instructions

Combine the dry ingredients in a little mixing bowl. Be sure to combine well, you don't want to bite into a lump of baking powder.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir to blend well. Put the batter in a two standard silicone cupcake containers or small ramekins. You can grease the ramekins if you want to turn the cake out after baking. I just leave it in and eat with a spoon.
Microwave on regular power for 30 seconds. I watch it carefully, if it looks like it's going to overflow, I stop the microwave and then start again. Mine took just 30 seconds exactly. I 'baked' mine one at a time.
Mix the glaze ingredients together in a small glass. Add a little more sugar or milk to get the right consistency.
Frost the cupcakes and enjoy.
