Mini Chocolate Cakes

We make mini chocolate cakes because they're adorable, there's an excellent ratio of frosting to cake, and you get the whole thing to yourself! With 3 layers of chocolate cake smothered in fluffy chocolate buttercream frosting, these are the perfect special occasion dessert. - N x ❤️
----------
MINI CHOCOLATE CAKES
(Makes 7 x 3 layer cakes that are 7cm / 2.8” wide)
1 cup plain flour / all-purpose flour (150g)
1/3 cup (25g) cocoa, sifted (unsweetened)
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda / bi-carb (sub 2 tsp extra baking powder)
1 cup white sugar (200g)
1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk, room temp
1/4 cup plain oil, like veg, canola, peanut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water (125 ml)
1 tsp instant coffee powder, optional
CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM
250g / 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups soft icing sugar / powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened (40g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp milk
DECORATING: Dark and white chocolate
1. Cake - Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into a bowl. Whisk in sugar and salt. Whisk in egg, milk, oil and vanilla. Dissolve coffee in boiling water then whisk into batter - it will be very thin! Pour into a lined 40 x 28.5 x 2.5cm cm tray (15.8 x 11.3 x 1" - US standard jelly roll pan). Bake 13 min at 180C/350F (160C).
2. Cool 10 min in pan, lift onto cooling rack then fully cool on counter, then 1 hr in fridge (this firms it up a bit). Cover with baking paper then flip upside down onto cutting board (important to have bottom of cake facing up for cutting because surface is too sticky). Cut 21 x 6cm / 2.4” rounds.
3. Frosting - Beat butter 3 min until fluffy, gradually beat in icing sugar, then cocoa, vanilla and milk. Once incorporated, beat on high for 3 min until fluffy. PIPE frosting onto layers, sides and top then gently smooth surface (don’t disturb crumbs on cake surface).
4. Shave chocolate using sharp knife, pile onto cakes. ENJOY!

Super elegant, but much easier to make than they appear! It’s the perfect cake to frosting ratio, too! 😋

Sorry to be off-topic, but have you ever used a pressure cooker ? Once you get used to them, they become an essential. I always wondered what mutton was like, in the old days lamb was for fleece. I found somewhere to get a large hunk, and it took all day, the traditional way to cook. A 30lbs/inch sq (2 x ATMs) pressure cooker and in 30 minutes and it fell apart. I had to guess, as pressure cookers are like using donkeys on a motorway, you don't see many or any instructions. Best food videos on YT.
