Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Before you get started on your mini cakes, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cakes bake evenly and rise perfectly.
- Prepare Your Baking Pan: Lightly grease a mini cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This will make it easy to remove your cakes once they are baked.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This step ensures that all your dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add melted butter and milk. Mix until well combined. This mixture will give your cakes their rich, moist texture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cakes tough.
- Fill the Pan: Scoop the batter into your prepared mini cake pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. This allows room for the cakes to rise without overflowing.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality chocolate and cocoa powder will enhance the flavor of your cakes significantly.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to avoid dense cakes—lumps are okay!
- Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the cakes are done; they should come out clean.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting or serving to maintain their structure.
