Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup raspberry puree (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and flour mini cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the sour cream and raspberry puree.
- Divide the batter evenly into mini cake pans. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of raspberry sauce, if desired.
Notes
- For extra raspberry flavor, add a raspberry jam filling in the middle of the cake.
- Ensure the cakes are fully cooled before adding toppings to avoid melting.
- Can substitute fresh raspberries with frozen ones, but make sure to thaw and drain them before use.
