Description

Individual mini chocolate bundt cakes baked until just set, with a molten gooey chocolate center—perfectly indulgent yet easy to make.


Ingredients

  • 2 oz heavy cream
  • 2 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (≈71 g)
  • 1 Tbsp flour (≈11 g)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting tins)


Instructions

  1. Make ganache: heat cream until hot, pour over 2 oz chopped chocolate, let sit for about 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Chill until firm and scoopable.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and dust mini bundt or muffin tins with cocoa powder.
  3. Melt butter and 4 oz chocolate together until smooth; stir in vanilla and salt.
  4. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, then fold into the chocolate mixture.
  5. Gently fold in flour until just combined.
  6. Fill each tin halfway with batter, add about 1 tsp ganache in the center, then cover with more batter.
  7. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  8. Let cool for 1 minute; invert onto plates and gently tap to release.
  9. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by ice cream.

Notes

  • You can prepare the ganache and batter in advance; assemble just before baking.
  • Properly greasing and dusting the tins ensures easy release.
  • Adjust bake time slightly based on the size and material of your molds.
