Rails Template Rendering ERB if Statement is rendered not in order

When I'm using an if-statement in an erb- template file, the if statement is evaluated delayed, which is mixing up the html:

<small>
<% if @applause_count == 1 %>
    The author has been cheered up once!
<% elsif @applause_count > 1%> 
    The author has been cheered up <%=  @applause_count %> times! <br/>Be the next!
<% end if %> 
</small>

produces:

<small>
</small>
The author has been cheered up 100 times! <br/>Be the next!

Can someone explain me this strange behaviour?

As noted, the problem is with the <% end if %>

Use <% end %>

This produces the desired html:

<small>
The author has been cheered up 2 times! <br/>Be the next!
</small>
