Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1 cup butter
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup buttermilk ((or sour milk - see notes))
2 eggs
6 tablespoons buttermilk ((or sour milk - see notes))
1/2 cup butter
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare mini muffin tins by lining each cup with mini paper liners or spraying cups liberally with baking spray that has flour in it.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine water, cocoa powder, and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking often. Remove from heat, pour into the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix together until just combined.
  • Add buttermilk and eggs and mix to combine. The batter will be thin.
  • Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, place one scoop of batter in each muffin cup.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cakes bounce back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and transfer bites to a rack to cool.If liners were not used, let bites cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then using the tip of a knife, gently remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat over medium heat buttermilk, butter and cocoa until bubbly. Mix in sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add in nuts and blend until incorporated.
  • Carefully spoon about a tablespoon of frosting over each cake bite and let frosting set. Some frosting may run over the sides, that's okay. Store in an air-tight container.
