Ingredients
Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup water
- 1 cup butter
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup buttermilk (or sour milk - see notes)
- 2 eggs
Frosting
- 6 tablespoons buttermilk (or sour milk - see notes)
- ½ cup butter
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Cake Bites
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare mini muffin tins by lining each cup with mini paper liners or spraying cups liberally with baking spray that has flour in it.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Combine water, cocoa powder, and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking often. Remove from heat, pour into the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix together until just combined.
- Add buttermilk and eggs and mix to combine. The batter will be thin.
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, place one scoop of batter in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cakes bounce back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and transfer bites to a rack to cool.If liners were not used, let bites cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then using the tip of a knife, gently remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Cup of Yum
Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, heat over medium heat buttermilk, butter and cocoa until bubbly. Mix in sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add in nuts and blend until incorporated.
- Carefully spoon about a tablespoon of frosting over each cake bite and let frosting set. Some frosting may run over the sides, that's okay. Store in an air-tight container.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make sour milk instead. Add 1 teaspoon white vinegar to 1 cup milk and let it sit for a few minutes. Add 6 tablespoons to recipe as directed.
