Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Oil – You can substitute with the same amount of butter if you wish but I find that oil keeps it more moist.
- Cocoa Powder – I use dutch processed cocoa powder in all my recipes. A good quality chocolate and Cocoa powder will always give you the best chocolate desserts.
- 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.
- White chocolate Chips – These add a rich chocolate taste in the center of the cake. If you serve it warm, these chips stay soft and melt in the mouth.
- Coffee – Coffee and chocolate are always a perfect combination but you can omit the coffee.

Wendie
What kind/brand dark chocolate would you recommend?
Veena Azmanov
Hey Wendie. I often use Callebaut or Laubeca coverture. Sometime Godiva bars for the family. I buy these here at a cake decorating store.
Lisa Huff
Can’t be chocolate cake! Such a fun idea making cake for two and perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Veena Azmanov
Than you Lisa. Definitely perfect for Valentine’s day or any day that calls for two small cakes.
Natalie
YUM! This chocolate fudge cake looks so good and perfect for Valentine’s day! I love how easy it is to make it too!
Veena Azmanov
Absolutely Natalie. Chocolate on Valentine’s Day is definitely a winner. Thanks
Regina
This recipe is perfect for Valentine’s day but also for occasions when I don’t want to make a big cake just for the 2 of us
Veena Azmanov
Absolutely Regina.I love making small portions when I can. So I don’t over eat.
Jill
This is a bit like the lava cakes I’ve made for years. Also baked in ramekins and original recipe makes two – though I usually end of multiplying it for more people! I like the addition of coffee to your recipe. Can’t go wrong with chocolate cake!
Veena Azmanov
Thanks Jill. Sound like you love the recipe already. I hope you try my version and let me know what you think
Danielle
You can’t beat homemade cake, but I hate having loads of leftovers, so this is great
Veena Azmanov
Exactly Danielle. It’s great to make a small portion just for you and yours. Thanks
