Chocolate Cake for One

Hello everyone! I was in the mood for some baking on Saturday and decided that I would test out a new recipe. The recipe I chose was a German chocolate cake that was a single serving, which means no leftovers or hiding the cake from my family lol. However, I changed the recipe up a bit (for convenience) and it became more of just a chocolate cake. Here’s what you’ll need.

Cake:

-1 tablespoon + 2 tsp cocoa powder (8g)

-3 tablespoons flour

-1/8 tsp salt

-1 tablespoon + 2 tsp sugar

-1/4 tsp baking powder

-2-3 tsp coconut oil

-3 tablespoons milk of choice

-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Glaze:

-1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water

-1/4 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

-2 tsp maple syrup

-2 tablespoons powdered sugar

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients (cocoa, flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder) needed for the cake using a whisk (or whatever you have to mix with). Add in all the wet ingredients (oil, milk, and vanilla) and mix completely. Split your mix evenly between two small ramekins and bake for 13-14 minutes or until they look done. You could also put all the batter into one ramekin and just bake it for a little bit longer, which if I had read the recipe beforehand and realized I wouldn’t be making frosting that’s what I would have done.

For the glaze all you need to do is mix everything in a bowl and pour over your finished cake. Even if it isn’t the frosting I would have made, if I wasn’t a dummy, it’s still good. I also added a smiley face using cookie icing just for an extra touch.

I hope you guys liked this recipe! If you want the original recipe you can read it here (hello fellow blogger :D). I also made a video to go along with this recipe which you can watch here. Keep watching my blog because more nail designs are coming soon. BYYEEE
