Because sometimes you just want cake, but don't want/need to make a huge one. This is made in a mini loaf tin. Feel free to whip up a quick glaze to drizzle over the top if you'd like, but I think it's great as is. Recipe adapted from : dessertfortwo.com

Ingredients

1 small cake
  1. 4 tbsp.unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  2. 1/2 cupgranulated sugar
  3. 1large egg, room temperature
  4. 1/4 tsp.vanilla extract
  5. 1/2 cupall purpose flour
  6. 1/8 tsp.baking powder
  7. 3 tbsp.+ 1 tsp. milk, divided
  8. 2 tbsp.cocoa powder

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a mini loaf tin (5 3/4 x 3 x 2") with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and lighter in color. Then mix in the egg and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Mix in about half of the flour mixture and the baking powder. Then mix in the 3 tbsp. of milk, then the remaining flour, until just combined.

  4. 4

    Move 2 heaping tbsp. of the batter to a separate bowl...this will be your chocolate batter. Pour the remaining batter into the loaf tin.

  5. 5

    To the additional 2 tbsp. of batter, stir in the remaining 1 tsp. of milk and the cocoa powder. Once well blended, place dollops of the chocolate batter over the top of the other batter and swirl it together with either a toothpick or knife.

  6. 6

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs. You may want to cover you loaf tin loosely with foil after the 25 minute mark. This isn't called for in the original recipe, but I think mine browned a bit too much around the edges.

  7. 7

    Once done, place the muffin tin on a wire rack to cool completely before removing from the pan. Slice and enjoy!

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
