Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup water
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup butter (for frosting)
- 1/3 cup buttermilk (for frosting)
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Spray mini muffin pan generously with non-stick cooking spray or line with mini muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and cocoa powder and heat over medium heat until boiling, stirring often. Pour into the dry mixture and mix just until combined. Gently stir in the buttermilk and beaten eggs. The batter will be quite thin.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each well about 2/3 full. Bake at 325F for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake bites in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the buttermilk, butter, and cocoa for frosting. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, whisking often. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Spoon the frosting over the cake bites and allow a few minutes for the frosting to set.
Notes
- Ensure the mini muffin pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the frosting to your preference.
- Chill the frosting slightly for a thicker consistency if desired.
