Delight in these rich and fudgy Mini Chocolate Fudge Cakes, perfect for any occasion. These individual-sized treats are easy to make, featuring a tender crumb infused with luscious chocolate flavor. Whether served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or drizzled with chocolate ganache, they make an irresistible dessert that pairs wonderfully with whipped cream, berries, or ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk

Toppings (Optional)

  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate ganache

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Place the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until both are melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  4. Add Sugar and Eggs: Stir the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, alternating with the milk, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the mini cakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate ganache before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • These cakes are rich and fudgy—perfect for serving with whipped cream, berries, or ice cream.
  • For extra decadence, press a few chocolate chunks into the center before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
