Easy Homemade Chocolate Sandwich Cake Recipe
Rich chocolate flavor in every bite! This is a mini chocolate sandwich cake recipe I made just the way I like it. It’s perfectly sized for enjoying by yourself.
Cake Batter Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour (or cake flour)
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil (like grapeseed oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips, 1 Tbsp vegetable oil, and 1 Tbsp of the sugar. Microwave this mixture for 40 to 50 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it.
Step 2
To the melted chocolate mixture, add 1 Tbsp of flour and, if using, 1 packet of hot chocolate mix. Stir thoroughly until no dry ingredients are visible and everything is well combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth batter.
Step 3
Crack the egg into the bowl. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Aim for a uniform consistency without overmixing.
Step 4
The batter should be thick yet smooth. It should flow slowly when lifted with a spatula. If it seems too stiff, add a tiny bit more oil or water until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 5
Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish, making sure not to fill it too full as the cake will rise. Microwave for 1 minute to 1 minute and 50 seconds. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Step 6
Once cooked, let the cake cool slightly before carefully cutting it into a square shape. You can cut it to your desired size. These cake squares will form the bread layers of your sandwich.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, combine 3 Tbsp heavy cream and the remaining 1 Tbsp sugar. Whip using a whisk or electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This ensures the cream will hold its shape and not be too runny.
Step 8
Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream onto one of the cake squares. Be gentle to avoid crumbling the cake.
Step 9
Place another cake square on top of the cream to create a sandwich. Press down gently to secure it.
Step 10
Arrange the assembled chocolate sandwich cake on a nice plate. You’ve just made a simple yet delightful dessert!
Step 11
Voila! Your delicious and moist mini chocolate sandwich cake is ready. Enjoy it with a warm cup of coffee or tea for an extra treat. Savor your little moment of happiness!
