Small Chocolate Cake Recipe

This is small chocolate cake recipe and not rich, but what it lacks in cake size, it makes up for with taste-making simplicity.

The batter is easy to make and, once baked, will leave you with a delicious top layer of fluffy chocolate mousse. It is not as sweet as a traditional chocolate cake,

but the mousse on top more than makes up for it. This cake is great for a small gathering of family or friends and can be served with whipped cream. It will take you no more than an hour from start to finish.

How To Prepare Small Chocolate Cake Recipe?

Preparation Time: 30 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Total Time: 50 Minutes

Serving Size: 12

Equipment:

• 3-inch Silicone Baking Mold
• Large Mixing Bowl
• Fine Mesh Sieve
• 9-inch Square Cake Pan

Ingredients Small Chocolate Cake Recipe:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 cup sugar (light or dark)
• 3/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp canola oil (you can use vegetable oil as well)
• 2 large eggs,
• I used 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup buttermilk (you can use non-fat yoghurt, too)
• 3/4 cup chocolate morsels (see notes)

Directions For Small Chocolate Cake Recipe:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Generously spray a 9-inch square baking pan with baking spray and dust it with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.

Step 2: Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk them together to distribute the cocoa evenly.

Step 3: Place the wet ingredients in another bowl and use an electric mixer to beat them until well mixed.

Step 4: Add the dry and wet ingredients and beat until well incorporated.

Step 5: Pour the cake batter into a greased baking pan, then top with chocolate morsels.

Step 6: Bake the cake at 350 F for 20 minutes until the top is firm and springs back when gently pressed. Let the cake cool in the pan for an hour. Then cut into 12 pieces, top each with a dollop of whipped cream and serve.

Notes: Find chocolate morsels at supermarkets and speciality stores such as Target, Whole Foods, etc. They are tasty and meltable (but not too much).

You can also find morsels in bulk bins in some grocery stores. We like to crack them into small pieces so they’ll melt faster. You can also use milk chocolate but make sure they’re not too sweet!

What Is The Smallest Size Of Cake?

The small cake size is around an inch in diameter or smaller and can be between 2 and 8 inches high. There are many small cakes, such as petit fours, cupcakes and tarts.

These cakes are usually served individually or in small groups (like a dozen). Small cakes also do not require as much time to bake as a large cake, leaving you more time to decorate.

Which Flavour Is Best In Chocolate Cake?

Flavour is one of the most important factors in a cake. Different types of cakes have different flavours that might appeal to other people.

Flavours range from sweet, like chocolate and strawberry, to savoury items, such as orange. Many people enjoy their cake with vanilla, even though it isn’t tasty.

Vanilla and chocolate are both good cake flavour choices because they can be combined and make a delicious combination.

Is Oil Or Butter Better For Chocolate Cake?

Both butter and oil are acceptable for making a chocolate cake. Most people prefer to use butter to make chocolate cakes because the taste of both butter

and chocolate complement each other. To bake a great-tasting cake with oil, use canola or vegetable.

What Makes A Cake Taste Good?

1. The batter should be consistent, not too thick or too thin.

2. The cake’s baking time should also be correct to avoid having a dry cake.

3. The right ingredients are used to make the chocolate cake (butter and sugar are popular).

4. The cake’s texture is also important. It should be moist without being wet.

5. Finally, the refrigerator time also helps make the cake taste good and firm up so you can have a nice slice of cake.

Can I Use Natural Cocoa Powder?

Yes, you can use natural cocoa powder. Natural cocoa powder contains less fat and not as much caffeine as the one that is produced in a chocolate factory.

To make your cake taste better, it is recommended to have at least 2/3 cups (although you can go up to a whole cup) of unsweetened cocoa powder.

If you don’t like the strong smell of chocolate, go for the unsweetened chocolate processed by boiling.

How To Store Small Chocolate Cake Recipe?

Before using the cake, make sure you cover the cake well with plastic wrap. This will help keep the cake moist since it is an open cake.

Then place it in a refrigerator when not in use, and it can stay for up to four days without going bad.

It might be a little bit dry if it has been there too long, so do not be alarmed if your cake is not as moist as before.
