Small Valentine Cake Recipes
Ingredients
Let's start off by talking about the ingredients you will need to make these delicious small Valentine cakes. You will need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened, 1 and 1/2 cups of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beating after each addition. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack.
Once the cake has cooled, make the ganache. Put the chocolate chips and heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache over the cake and spread it with a spatula. Allow the ganache to set before serving.
