Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 175 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and generously grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line it with paper cupcake liners.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until smooth. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, whisk in the granulated sugar until fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for a fudgy texture).
Remove the tin from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy your fudgy mini chocolate cakes!
