Mini Chocolate Poke Cakes



For those who enjoy chocolate, these little chocolate poke cakes are a delightful treat. Rich chocolate ganache covers a moist chocolate cake that's filled with hot fudge. These little treats have an extra dose of decadence thanks to the addition of mini chocolate chips and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Ingredients:
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3/4 cup hot fudge sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for garnish
  • Whipped cream optional, for topping
  • Fresh berries optional, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions and bake in mini cake pans

Allow the cakes to cool completely

Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in each mini cake

Heat the hot fudge sauce in the microwave until warm, and pour it over the mini cakes, allowing it to seep into the holes

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer

Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips

Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth to create a ganache

Pour the ganache over the mini cakes, spreading it evenly to cover the surface

In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract

Sprinkle this mixture over the ganache layer

Garnish each mini cake with mini chocolate chips and, if desired, whipped cream and fresh berries

Chill the mini chocolate poke cakes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving

Enjoy your indulgent Mini Chocolate Poke Cakes!
