MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE



Mini Chocolate Cake image

This mini chocolate cake for two is perfect for celebrating anniversaries, date night or just because: chocolate. The cake has a crumb that is one notch closer to pound cake than boxed cake mix, which I love. The ganache on top is my obsession. I almost never remember to put butter on the counter to soften for cake frosting, and a 2-minute chocolate ganache solves that problem. The pomegranate seeds are just, well, pretty. And crunchy. And tart. And very welcome.

Time 50m

Yield One 6-inch cake (2 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed), plus more for the pan
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup full-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon warm coffee
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
Splash light corn syrup, optional (to keep the frosting smooth)
1/3 cup pomegranate arils, for garnish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the cake: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-inch round cake pan with 2-inch sides with oil then line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together the egg, sugar, oil, sour cream, coffee and vanilla in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from the sides, 29 to 32 minutes. If you under bake the cake, it will slightly sink, so check it!
  • Remove the cake from the pan by carefully running a paring knife along the edge to loosen, then tilting it into one hand and peeling off the parchment from the bottom; place it on a small cake stand.
  • For the ganache: Combine the chocolate, cream and corn syrup if using, in a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl fitted over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and cream in the microwave on low in 25-second intervals, stirring between each.)
  • Pour the ganache over the cake, and garnish with the pomegranate arils.

LOW CARB-ONE MINUTE CHOCOLATE MINI-CAKE FOR ONE!

Provided by SquadLeader

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 cupcake, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg, beaten well
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon heavy cream or 1 tablespoon half-and-half
2 tablespoons cocoa
5 drops liquid Splenda (3 small packages of splenda)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon softened butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, beat egg with fork and add in the rest of the ingredients until.
  • a smooth batter is formed.
  • Pour into a cup which will hold 8 ounces. You could use a coffee mug.I Pammed it.Microwave for one minute.
  • The carb count would depend on the sweetener. You could use Davinici syrup.I don't think it would affect the texture of the cake.But, without the sweetener, you would have .7 carb for the egg and 2 NET carbs for the cocoa powder.About 3 net carbs in all.then add the sweetener carbs.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly affect the taste of your mini chocolate cakes. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cakes. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cakes at a moderate temperature: Baking the cakes at too high a temperature can cause them to rise too quickly and fall, resulting in a dense, dry texture. Bake the cakes at a moderate temperature (350°F) for the recommended amount of time.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cakes.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Mini chocolate cakes are a great canvas for a variety of toppings. You can use classic chocolate frosting, whipped cream, fresh berries, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Mini chocolate cakes are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can create mini chocolate cakes that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give mini chocolate cakes a try!
