Mousse Cakes! Pound Cakes! Tea Cakes! Cake Pops! Bundt Cakes! Mug Cakes! And the new trend Ramekin Cakes! Woah! Cake Creators and Lovers know how to keep themselves invested in crafting different variants of cakes!

And among all, I am here today with a quick dessert fix – Ramekin Cake, a nippy sweet solution to all your cravings. This is quite similar to Mug Cakes, the most fascinating point what I like here is to try small pots of sweetness in cute individual portions in variety of ramekin shapes.  

A ramekin, a small glazed ceramic bowl which is commonly used for preparing single portions of soups, soufflés, mousses, or used to serve condiments alongside the other dishes. Thanks to the creation of molten chocolate cake, this form of kitchenware is becoming popular to bake cakes too! Uber Cool. Isn’t it?

So, this weekend when I was in good mood to have a chocolate cake (always in a mood to have chocolate, whichever form it is), I whipped up choco batter to bake which was ready in a jiffy. This was my 1^st trial and I used a ramekin heart shaped bowl to bake my cake.

Recipe –

Super Easy & Quick; Prep Time – 5 Mins, Baking Time – 2 Mins.

Ingredients –

• All purpose flour – 1/4 cup or 4 Tbsp

• Sprinkles or White Choco Chips for garnishing.

Method –

• In a small bowl add the milk and vinegar and set aside.
• In other bowl, add flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder.
• Add the oil, milk and vinegar mixture and red food colour, vanilla extract to the dry ingredients
• Mix using a fork until the batter is free of lumps, smooth everything is well combined.
• Pour in ramekin bowls; filling only half or slightly more is perfect for the batter to get some space to rise.
• Top it up with sprinkles or choco chips.
• Microwave at high for 1 minute and let it sit inside for another min before taking the mug out.

Notes – After it is baked, prick a toothpick in the middle of cake, if it comes out wet, bake for a few more seconds, and if it comes out clean, gobble. IF you are not sure if the cake is baked properly, Allow the cake to rest for 5 minutes before to serve.

This cake longs easily for a day or two, but come on! Who would wait that long to devour this cake in a flash!
