Super Easy Fudgy Mini Chocolate Cakes

"Baking has never been easier than this! These little cakes are meant to be served warm. You can put the batter into little cupcake tins earlier in the day and then refrigerate until you are ready to bake them and just pop them in the oven just before you finish you dinner, so you can end the meal with a decadent chocolate dessert. Make sure that the butter, egg and chocolate are at room temperature before you start. Drizzle chocolate or caramel glaze over, whipped cream or anything you desire! You can cut the complete recipe in half for 4 mini cakes."

  1. These are very, very easy to make and taste great. I actually got 11 cupcakes out of the recipe. I made sure all of my ingredients were at room temperature. One suggestion is that before you put the aluminum foil on to flip them, use a thin spatula to go around and loosen each cupcake. They will fall right out if you do that.
     
  2. I cannot believe more people havent made this recipe! I always want to make those molton chocolate cakes but they always call for ramekins which I am sadly without. So I though I would try these out and while the center is not liquidy, it is fudgy and delicious! I would reccomend these to anyone, fast, easy and delicious!
