My husband would argue that is a single serving cake. He loves chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! Thanks for the recipe. You are so kind and your videos so enjoyable.
Ha! Well I know how that is myself. Thanks for watching!
Guess you'll have to make 2.
Perfect! I don’t like making a big cake for just two. Thank you!
Yes, I know just what you mean.
Perfect! Looks delicious.
I like adding a spoon of instant espresso powder to chocolate cake. I'll make this tonight!
Enjoy!
@Estephanina, thank you for mentioning the espresso powder!
The recipe I did not know I needed!! Thank you🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
A tiny cake is all I need for me . When the kids were home I needed a big cake, but they are all grown up.
✅
I love the idea of just using measuring spoons instead of ounces or cups and the way you explain it makes it so much easier and pleasant. Thank you! Love this recipe. I’m always having to freeze or throw away leftover cake. 😢
Hope this works as well for you as it does for us!
I made this cake yesterday for a tea party with my grandkids. They were enchanted by the tiny cake, and I was thrilled with how moist and delicious it came out.
Wonderful! Making great memories!
I tried this recipe and baked in an air fryer at 320 degrees for 25 minutes. Came out well and was good!!!
Sounds great!
I made the cake last night.
Simply delicious. Thanks for sharing this wonderful small batch cake 😊.
My pleasure 😊
I finally got a rainy weekend to try this. I thought I would share the variations I made some due to circumstance and some due to preference as you suggested. First I swapped the the quantities for sugar and cocoa since I like less sweet and more chocolate. I had to use one of those muffin pans for big muffins which are about 3 3/4 inch across the top. The pan was old and beat up so after greasing it I dusted it with more coca powder to help the cakes release. It made 3 nice cakes. Looking at the three of them I have to agree with another commenters husband, about 1 serving. For the icing I had to use regular granulated sugar since I didn’t have any powdered on hand and again I reduced the volume. Seemed to work fine. Another preference change I made was to use half a sachet of instant coffee. Finally!, a use for instant coffee.
This was a great find for me since my wife doesn’t like chocolate and a whole cake is too much for just me.
Enjoy!
Love the video. I struggle with sugar so this will keep me from bringing in a huge cake.
And yes, I am prepping. Doing much better since someone I know who is a farmer says things are going to get serious in 2024 !!!!!!
✅
What is going to get serious in 2024 ,,what is prepping and what are you doing to prep
@@raewyncormack2461 If you really do not know by this time, I doubt me trying to tell you is a good use of time. I can't believe this. But, just sit back and wait on the government to help you.
Great recipe! Thanks! I didn't have a 5" cake pan so I made 3 large cupcakes using 3 large aluminum pudding cups. They came out perfect. Extra large parchment baking cups in the pudding cups made it easy.
Excellent! 🙂
I love how you make your recipes for 2! This cake looks delicious! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Thanks, I always want chocolate cake but not a huge one. Perfect, as soon as my pan arrives I am making one.
Sounds great!
Someone just recommended you for a bread recipe and so far I've watched 2 other videos. I'm so happy to have found you. Now, I'm off to find your bread recipe!
Wonderful! Hope you "like" and "share" my videos with others as well!
Looks delicious!!
Thanks for watching!
I love watching you! Your voice is so soothing and your cooking skills are top notch! Carrot cake? Thanks!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@KenClick can you do carrot cake?
Glad I run across your channel , a tip maybe but your little cake tin reminded me of the little cake pan that I bought optional for my crock pot It cooks a much nicer cake than my oven ever did.
✅
What a great idea looks so good!
Thanks!
Great idea. Will have to try it.
Please do!
Perfect little cake!
Thank you 😋
I use the same exact Mexican Vanilla extract. Such a wonderful flavor. Thank you for sharing all your videos. I was binge watching. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this downsized recipe!! I’ll definitely try this one
Great!
gonna try this!
Enjoy!
This is SO GOOD!!!! My sister is literally scarfing it down😂. Thanks for the amazing recipe!💌
Glad you like it as much as I do! 🙂
Lately, well, I felt I'd been eating too healthily so I decided to switch things up ! At Aldi I got one box of devil's food cake and one fudge brownie mix, used half of each, and baked little muffin sized cakes in paper liners. Really moist and no frosting needed unless you want to. Chocolate cake is one of God's blessings, isn't it? Such good stuff and hits the spot any time of day or night as a snack.
Yes, I mentioned boxed cakes in the video.
@@KenClick .....I truly like your recipe and will keep it in mind.....it's just that I've been taking the path of least resistance of late. 😉
We sure appreciate you, Ken. Thank you!!
My pleasure!
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
Can't wait to try this one out with my grandson. We love your videos and making your recipes!
Thanks so much 😊

Perfect timing! I’ve been wanting chocolate cake, but its just me. I am going to give this a try…thanks, Ken 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
That cake looks so delicious!! I just have to try this for me and my wife. Love your channel!!! 😊👍
Thank you so much 🤗
That cutie cake looks so moist and yummy. Thanks for sharing this recipe 👍🏼
My pleasure 😊
Another great description. I like the idea of making a small cake; it constrains how much cake we will eat😊. Also, fun fact, when you count and measure; it reminds me of “the Count” from Sesame Street 😊
✅ 🙂
Great recipe for two. I'll be watching your channel, for more small recipes. Great idea!!!
✅
Tried this recipe manage to sell in little cups for kids gathering!! Thanks for this recipe. Taste so good!
Glad they liked it!

Thanks for commenting! 🙂
Looks good Ken , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for watching!
I had a craving for chocolate cake but I didn't have enough ingredients for a normal recipe. After looking around I found this video and I just love it. The only thing I did different was bake them in ramekins.
Thank you for sharing!
That's great to hear! Glad you like it!
Made this today!!! Absolutely marvelous THANK YOU 💛💛💛
That's great to hear!
Oh I appreciate this recipe especially chocolate ! Cooking for one can be challenging. So thanks for this easy recipe 😋

Very good recipe I like the recipe that are for two. Thank you Ken ,,
My pleasure!
This is a lovely cake. I like that you use the olive oil. I'll give it a try. Thanks so much Ken.
You are very welcome! 🙂
Looks yummy. When I saw the size of the pan I thought for sure you'd made an instant pot cake. I haven't tried one yet but they look good to.
Thanks for watching.
❤ Yummy❤...A Valentine’s Day Must Have Dessert! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Looks good enough for one from my point of view. Oh yes, it is mighty good to eat.

✅ Welcome to the channel!
I saw a recipe for premix coffee mug cakes. Its a box of any cake mix with a box of angel food cake. She mixed it and keep it in pantry to get out a little bite in a mug at a time to cook in microwave. If I find the video I will add it here. I like mini sweets too even though they don't like me. Having sugar cone crumbs and waffle cone crumbs and vanilla wafer crumbs on hand for mini cheese cakes.
I mix regular choc cake mix with fudge brownie mix from Aldi to get a real chocolatey and moist cake with a tad more density. 😋 Someimes I add plain rolled oats for extra fiber. Lots of small batch/mug cake recipe sites and cookbooks are out there.
I tried those and have to pass myself.
Nice
✅🙂
I bought the pan from Amazon and will make this cake tomorrow 😊
Enjoy 🙂
I love my NuWave Oven, but sadly don't use it as much as I should. Definitely trying to make this cake and hoping to see more recipes using this appliance. Thanks for sharing your easy to follow recipes.
I have several videos using the NuWave oven. Thanks for watching!
@@KenClick Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I will probably binge watching these 😁
@@Bertex96 Here is another cake: czcams.com/video/Uh3WHKgECTM/video.html
@@KenClick Thank you Ken! Watched it right away and now I have to decide which cake to make first 😊
Thanks for sharing this. 😋😋😋 I don’t have a counter top oven.
Thanks for watching.
@@KenClick I shared this with my grandson who is a single dad to his precious 6 year old son. It’s just perfect for him too.
Great, I'm gonna make that cake just for me lol...😛
Enjoy! 🙂
❤

For your cake in the oven to make them cook flat without the traditional mound in the middle there are these little pan wraps that you wrap around the sides of the pan witch allows the cake to cook on the edge the same as in the middle. easiest place to get them are on Amazon. They do work well.
✅
Love your recipes....have you made other than chocolate cake in your 5X2 pan ? I just got one from Amazon today and made your chocolate cake...sooooo delicious !
I'll be sharing a few more cake recipes in the future. Glad you like the chocolate cake! 🙂
Thank you! After raising 4 children and making big cakes, this is perfect for my husband and I. If I may ask-which vanilla do you prefer? Thinking of trying to make my own. Have a blessed week.
It is a good size for 2. As far as the question about vanilla, make sure it is real not imitation. Mine is from Mexico.
This was absolutely what I was looking for in a video recipe for 2. GREAT JOB! Your links and recipe is SUPER Great.
The only question I have is, if I wanted to bake in the oven, what degree would I do this? I can figure how long, just not the degree.
Thanks for watching. Bake at 350 f. in a regular oven.
Hi Ken thanks for the delicious looking cake video.
Do you think this will work in the dash mini bundt cake maker?
Just a thought.
I don't have one, but it should work great.
I will call * Heaven * chocolate cake..
So moist and 😋 with the icing. I add Marashino 🍒 on top just because my husband and me love the 🍒
Wonderful! Thanks for commenting! 🙂
Did you grease/flour the little cake pan? I'm going to make it this afternoon. Thanks Ken. I so enjoy your videos!!
Yes, I show doing that at 4:13 in the video. Thanks for watching!
@@KenClick Thank you for replying so quickly. I guess I closed my eyes for a second...ha, ha.. sorry I missed it.
I recently found your channel. I was looking for recipes for the dash pie maker and your pecan pie recipe caught my eye. I’ve been looking for an individual pecan pie because it is just me and I don’t need to have a whole pie sitting around. I’m enjoying all your recipes. I just saw your okra recipe and need to try it. I love okra! I will be making this chocolate cake for others but I was wondering can I just leave out the cocoa powder to make it a vanilla cake? Also I just got the dash Bundt maker. Do you think this recipe would work in the Bundt maker? Otherwise I would need to order this pan before I can make it. There are not many CZcams channels that make small portions. I enjoy your channel and need to watch other videos of yours. Thank you.
I do not own the Dash Bundt maker, so all I can say is give it a try and see how it turns out. Same goes for the vanilla cake, give it a try! Thanks for watching!
You could use a mixer, too, especially if you have arthritic joints.
That is true.
Hello, very nice small cake. May I ask if a butter can be used instead of oil? And how much? Thank you!
Give it a try!
I made this small cake. It was lovely
Can you give a recipe for this size cake tin for a simple cheesecake? Not too elaborate
Sorry, I do not have one at this time. Thanks for watching!
Hi Ken, Question: couldn't a person use your biscuit method to cook the cake on the stove top? Thanks for sharing.
Take a look at this video > czcams.com/video/XSjU5kOvqfo/video.html
Do you have a suggested temperature and time for a regular oven?
In a regular oven I'd use 350 F. Every oven is a bit different. Begin checking it with a tooth pick after it rises in the center. Keep track of the time so you will know exactly how long next time.
I love a small chocolate cake! Any chance you could develop this for the dash mini pie maker?
I would try just pouring it in 3/4 the way full. When it separates from the sides. Flip it upside down and cook even unplugged for a few more minutes so it cooks all the way through.
No, I have not had good results with cake batter in the dash.
@@KenClick , okay, appreciate that advice. How about a recipe for the microwave? I only ask because even my countertop Oster convection oven heats the kitchen up so much that I have to turn on the air conditioner. Thanks!
@@TheMinot60 , I'm going to give this a try. Anything to keep from turning on even my countertop convection oven. It makes the kitchen unbearably hot at this time of year.
@@nmr6988 Someone mentioned making cake in a cup in the microwave. Have you tried that? I don't have a recipe myself.
✨✨✨✨✨👍
✅🙂
What would be the baking time and temperature in a regular oven ?
I'm not sure. I'd go with 350 F. and watch it rise, then pull it once it passes the "tooth pick" test.
If I put the cake in the oven, would it be 300 degrees as well?
I spoke of this in the video. Every oven is different. You will need to experiment using your oven.
Linda, I would do the toothpick test after twenty minutes at 325 on the center rack. 300F is really low for baking most things ---it's more for drying out meringue and bread cubes and things like that.
Do you have a vanilla version you can share?
No video for that yet, sorry.
Mr Ken can I put thecake in the oven?
Sure. Any oven will work.
What if we don't have a mini oven? Then could we bake it in a regular oven?
Yes.
Countertop oven? I need one of those.
There are many on the market.
@@KenClick yes, I've been researching today. I like the small footprint of the model you own. Oh and the cake recipe looks great -- I should have already said that.
Thank you I love to have desert but it's only just me and my husband I cannot see making such a big recipe if you have any more got good ideas for splitting recipes and half especially for desserts they will be welcomed
Did you watch the video? You consider this a big recipe? It's a 5 inch cake. Perhaps I misunderstand you comments.
@@KenClick i'm sorry i word that wrong what i meant to say the cake is perfect for me and my husband. The reason i don't make Desert is because some of the recipes make so much
@@reginaparker663 I understand now. Yes, I agree with you!
Is your countertop oven also an air fryer, convection or other. Brand name?
Here is a link to one like mine: amzn.to/3w3A3px
Awesome! Thanks for info.
Where can I buy one of those ovens ?
There is an Amazon link in the description box.
@@KenClick Got it! Thanks!
Salted or unsalted butter for the icing?
I used salted butter. Thanks for watching!
@@KenClick I just found your channel this evening. I have saved many of your recipes. Can’t wait to try them. They all look very very good. Thank you for responding so quickly. Have a great evening.
I meant to tell you that I also have a NuWave oven that I use all the time.
What if you don't have a mini oven!
You would need to bake it in what you have.
