Bento Chocolate Cake

For small celebrations like Valentine’s Day, I love making bento-sized cakes in different flavors for my partner and I. They are no doubt the perfect little treat to share without going overboard. This one is a chocolate bento cake, filled with chocolate-flavoured Finowhip (a powdered frosting that’s whipped with cold water or milk into a light, creamy filling). #CookpadApron2026

  2. 2

    Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, soda and salt

  3. 3

    In a separate mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in the egg just until combined

    Let cake cool for 5 minutes in the pan then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely

  7. 7

    Frost with whipping cream, buttercream, cream cheese, or enjoy as is! I used whipped cream on mine. I doubled the recipe to make two bento cakes, decorated one with red icing and a topper abd the other with a topper and food grade gold leaf in my preferred designs
