Ingredients
To make two 4 inch layers
- 30 ml (⅛ cup) vegetable oil
- 80 ml (⅓ cup ) almond milk or dairy milk
- 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- _
- 70 g (⅓ cup) sugar
- 65 g (½ cup) plain flour (all purpose)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Chocolate Frosting
- 80 g (½ cup) dark chocolate chips
- 120 g (1 cup) icing sugar
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 75 g (⅓ cup) softened non dairy spread or unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Angostura Cocoa Bitters
- 2 tbsp Angostura Rum (or you can use milk)
To decorate
- sprinkles, chocolate shavings etc.
Instructions
Make the cake
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Line two four inch cake tins with parchment paper and mist with cake release. (See notes for 6 inch version)
- Add all the liquid ingredients to a medium bowl and mix together using a balloon whisk.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda. Stir to combine, starting from the middle of the bowl and slowly incorporating the dry ingredients until you have a smooth, glossy batter.
- Divide between the prepared cake tins and bake for 25-28 minutes. The cakes are ready when risen and springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave the cakes to cool in their tins for 10 minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE FROSTING
- Put the chocolate chips in a bowl and over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring, until the chocolate melts.
- Add the icing sugar, cocoa powder and softened butter and start mixing on low speed, simply to combine the ingredients.
- Add Angostura Cocoa Bitters and rum and beat together until the frosting holds soft peaks.
ASSEMBLE YOUR MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE
- Pipe or spread the frosting over the bottom cake layer and sandwich with the top one. You can either add frosting over the whole cake and smooth it over the sides or make a mini naked cake.
- Add sprinkles, chocolate buttons, smarties or leave plain. Enjoy with a loved one!
Notes
- Double the recipe to make two 6 inch layers
