Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini cake pan or use a cupcake tin.
- In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- Alternately add dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill the mini cake molds 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Spoon ganache over cooled cakes and let it drip down the sides. Top each with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to ensure the cakes remain fluffy.
- Store the cakes in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- These mini cakes can be frozen for later enjoyment.
