Instructions
Indulge in some sweet chocolate desserts for two with these easy-to-follow instructions.
1. Preparing the Chocolate Cake
To make the chocolate cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small baking dish or bundt cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sifted all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened butter with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Add 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
2. Making the Buttercream Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup of softened butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
3. Assembling the Dessert
Once the cake has cooled, cut it in half horizontally to create two layers. Place one layer on a serving plate and generously spread buttercream frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream frosting.
For a finishing touch, dust the cake with cocoa powder or decorate with chocolate shavings. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for a few days.

How to Store
After indulging in these delicious chocolate desserts, you may find yourself with leftovers. Here are some tips on how to properly store them:
- Cake: If you have any cake leftover, make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. This will help prevent it from drying out. Stored this way, the cake can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Frosting: If you have any leftover frosting, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. When ready to use, let it come to room temperature and give it a good stir or beat it for a few seconds to bring it back to a spreadable consistency.
- Bundt Cakes: If you made a mini bundt cake and have leftovers, the best way to store them is to keep them in their bundt pans. Before storing, make sure the cake is completely cooled. Invert the bundt pan and cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring it is tightly sealed. This will help keep the cake moist. Bundt cakes can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Chocolate Delights: If you have any chocolate desserts like cookies or brownies left, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for about a week. You can also refrigerate them to extend their shelf life, but note that they may become slightly denser.
In addition to these storing tips, here are a few more notes:
- Flourless Desserts: If you made a flourless chocolate dessert, you may enjoy it straight from the refrigerator or at room temperature, as per your preference.
- Vegan Desserts: If you made a vegan chocolate dessert, be sure to check if any of the ingredients require refrigeration. Follow the storage guidelines accordingly.
- Whipped Cream or Buttercream Frosting: If your desserts were frosted with whipped cream or buttercream, it is best to keep them refrigerated. They might lose some of their volume, but they will still taste delicious.
These storage tips will ensure that you can enjoy your chocolate desserts for as long as possible without them going bad. Now, go ahead and indulge in these sweet delights!
