No commercial mix has chocolate as good as this! The cake itself is nearly as dense as fudge.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (4 ounce) bittersweet chocolate bar, chopped
1 ½ (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
¾ cup white sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons organic all-purpose flour
½ (4 ounce) bittersweet chocolate bar, broken into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 6 cupcake cups, preferably in a dark-colored metal pan.
  • Place 1 chopped bar of bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; place bowl in microwave, and cook on low power until the butter has melted and the chocolate is soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Check and stir often to avoid burning the chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk cinnamon, vanilla extract, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined, and stir in the flour just until blended. Mix in the chocolate mixture, stir the batter a few times until smooth, and lightly mix in the 1/2 bar of bittersweet chocolate broken into 1/2-inch pieces. Spoon batter into the prepared cupcake cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of a cake comes out with streaks of thick batter, about 18 minutes. The tops of the cakes should be almost firm. Allow to cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes to serve warm, or 20 minutes to serve at room temperature.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cakes didn't turn out. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cakes are really dense. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit lighter and fluffier.

I had some trouble getting the cakes to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I found these cakes to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
