Mini Chocolate Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For a perfectly moist and flavorful mini chocolate pound cake, you’ll need 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of cocoa powder, 2/3 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup of milk. You’ll also need 2 large eggs to help bind the ingredients together, and 1/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a mini bundt cake pan with butter and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the eggs and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the greased mini bundt cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serving
Once your mini chocolate pound cake is finished baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Serve your mini chocolate pound cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra decadence. It’s also delicious topped with a bit of melted dark chocolate or a scoop of ice cream.
Storage
Your mini chocolate pound cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If it starts to become dry, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. To freeze, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months.
