Preparing Chocolate Royale Mini Cakes
Ready to create your own Chocolate Royale Mini Cakes? This recipe may sound complex, but it’s simply a series of delightful steps leading to a decadent reward. Just follow the easy instructions, and you’ll be enjoying these treats in no time!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini cake pan by greasing it.
- Combine melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to the bowl, mixing until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the greased mini cake molds. Bake for 12-15 minutes and allow them to cool completely.
- Whip up your cream layer by beating the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until combined.
- Whip heavy cream in another bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Spread this blend over the cooled brownie cakes and chill.
- Make the ganache by heating heavy cream—just warm enough to melt the chopped dark chocolate.
- After pouring the ganache over the cream layer, refrigerate until set.
- Finally, add whipped cream and chocolate shavings for that perfect finish.
