Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Oven – 350°F (175°C); grease and flour mini cake molds or line with parchment.
2️⃣ Make the Cake Batter –
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cocoa.

Add wet to dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
Stir in boiling water until the batter is thin and silky.

3️⃣ Bake Mini Cakes –
Fill molds ⅔ full. Bake 18–20 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before removing from pans.

4️⃣ Ganache Time –
Heat cream to a simmer; pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 1 min, then whisk smooth.
Add butter, stir in until glossy. Let cool slightly to thicken.

5️⃣ Whip the Cream –
Beat cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

6️⃣ Assemble –
Slice cakes in half horizontally.
Spread whipped cream on bottom halves.
Top with other halves, then spoon ganache over the top so it drips seductively down the sides.

Top with extra whipped cream, chocolate curls, or even berries.
Serve chilled or room temp… either way, it’s pure chocolate heaven!
