Triple chocolate mini cakes

It is really difficult to describe how rich and perfect these cakes are. But I’m going to try. Let’s start with the main thing, it has chocolate, and a lot. Chocolate in the fluffy and oaty sponge cake, very simple to make and super rich. Chocolate in the filling, that is creamy, tasty, like to eat it by spoonfuls, and healthy, with a secret ingredient. And finally a ganache of dark chocolate on top because, melted chocolate always goes well, right?

This recipe is inspired by the mini cakes sold in my father’s restaurant in Buenos Aires, although those have dulce de leche instead of chocolate filling, and it is not for nothing but these are as good as those (and also healthy). My sister really loves those mini cakes, she asked for one every night, and it was very funny to see her with her mouth, and her cheeks and sometimes even her forehead full of chocolate. So this recipe brings many memories to my mind, which makes me very happy and makes it a special recipe.

Enough feelings, let’s what’s important, are you going to try the recipe or not? I swear it is delicious, the mixture of textures and the intense chocolate flavor is out of this world. Perfect for entertaining guests for tea time or to devour in solitude (which I did).

Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret! If the tests tell me, send me an email or comment in the blog post how it came out, if you liked it, or that you would change it, I would love to listen to the advice of those who try my recipes! And if you share a photo on your Instagram or stories tag me like @gaspic_healthyberry so I can see it and I’ll share you in my stories!

Do not forget to share the recipe in your networks and with your loved ones, they will appreciate it as much as I do!
