Chocolate Fudge Cake for Two - Valentine's Day Desserts

Sharing is caring!

Can you believe that half of January is almost over? I feel like it was just Christmas and we were waiting for new years! This year seems like it's got wheels.

Well, it's going to be Valentine's Day soon and I knew I had to share this chocolate fudge cake with you. Truth is we make it often during the year when the kids want a little chocolate indulgence. This is the baby of my chocolate layer fudge cake with chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache.

You going to love this Valentine's day dessert for two. I have been making it for many years now. Back when I was away from home, living in Singapore. The only way for us to have the cake was to eat out or make a mini version for me and my flatmate. I just realized they would make perfect desserts for Valentine's Day Celebration. Especially as Valentine Desserts for Two? Don't you think?

About this chocolate fudge cake for two

The recipe is very simple, easy and fudgy. Made with real chocolate, fresh cream this is moist and indulgent. The best way to bake it would be to leave it wet in the center so it's very soft and chocolaty.

The recipe is a small batch for just two but you can certainly double this recipe. If you need to make many servings then I recommend using my chocolate fudge layer cake recipe instead.

Use Tips and Tools

• You will need a small mixing bowl - no need for a stand mixer as the quantity is small.
• It's best to use a silicone spatula and a whisk to combine all the ingredients together.
• I use two 6 oz ramekins but you can also bake it in a large 10 oz ramekin
• Place the ramekins on a baking tray for easy cleanup, just in case you have some spillover.

Let's talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)

• Oil - The oil keeps it moist so I highly recommend a flavorless cooking oil
• Chocolate - This is the real deal in this cake so make sure to use good quality chocolate. Chocolate that you like to eat, no baking chocolate, candy melts, etc.
• Fresh cream - use no less than 32 % fat. I am using 38% fat today.
• Dark Brown Sugar - The brown sugar gives it that fudge taste. If you can't find dark brown sugar, use light brown sugar. Alternatively, you can use white sugar with 1 tsp of molasses in the recipe.
• Egg - we've used only the yolk because we need just that amount. If you double the recipe use one whole egg instead of two yolks.

How to Make Valentine Chocolate Fudge Cake For Two (Save/Pin)

• Preheat oven at 160 C / 320 F
• Grease and dust 2 6 oz ramekins
• Combine the flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt - set aside
• Melt chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
• Add the sugar, egg, oil, vanilla.
• Finally, add the flour mixture
• Mix to a smooth batter.
• Add the chocolate chip in now (if using)
• Pour some batter into the prepared ramekins
• Bake for just 15 mins - the center should still be soft.
• Serve these warm.
• These can be served on their own but a dollop of ice cream works beautifully too.
