MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE
This mini chocolate cake for two is perfect for celebrating anniversaries, date night or just because: chocolate. The cake has a crumb that is one notch closer to pound cake than boxed cake mix, which I love. The ganache on top is my obsession. I almost never remember to put butter on the counter to soften for cake frosting, and a 2-minute chocolate ganache solves that problem. The pomegranate seeds are just, well, pretty. And crunchy. And tart. And very welcome.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the cake: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-inch round cake pan with 2-inch sides with oil then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together the egg, sugar, oil, sour cream, coffee and vanilla in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from the sides, 29 to 32 minutes. If you under bake the cake, it will slightly sink, so check it!
- Remove the cake from the pan by carefully running a paring knife along the edge to loosen, then tilting it into one hand and peeling off the parchment from the bottom; place it on a small cake stand.
- For the ganache: Combine the chocolate, cream and corn syrup if using, in a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl fitted over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and cream in the microwave on low in 25-second intervals, stirring between each.)
- Pour the ganache over the cake, and garnish with the pomegranate arils.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray 6 (10-ounce) straight sided ramekins with cooking spray. Place ramekins on 15x10x1-inch baking sheet; set aside. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Pour about 3/4 cup batter into each ramekin.
- Bake 22 to 26 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from ramekins to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until smooth. Add vanilla and milk, 1 to 2 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is piping consistency, adding milk as necessary. Beat in food color.
- Using serrated knife, cut rounded tops off each cake to make a level surface. Place, cut sides down, on serving platter. Cut each cake in half horizontally to make 2 layers per cake. Spread 3 tablespoons frosting on the bottom half of each cake. Place remaining cake halves, bottom sides up, over frosting
- Use pastry bag fitted with a large 2D star tip to pipe remaining frosting around and up sides and on tops of cakes to resemble frills. Top with edible pearls.

MINI CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKES
Individually-sized chocolaty cheesecakes on a gingersnap cookie base! You can, of course, use any cookie base that you'd like really. Oreo® is the obvious choice to play up the chocolate flavor, graham crackers are always great, and Nilla® wafers are a fun option, too!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly combined and mixture resembles coarse sand. Divide mixture evenly and sprinkle into the bottom of the prepared muffin cups; use the bottom of a cup to press crumbs firmly into a crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove crusts to a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- While the crusts are cooling, combine cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whip on medium to high speed, scraping down the sides and bottom as needed, until smooth and evenly combined. Blend in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, blending after each addition until mixture is smooth and even and scraping the sides as necessary. Divide filling evenly between the crusts.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven off, and leave cheesecakes in the oven without opening the door for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- Place butter into a small light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan frequently, until brown bits form on the bottom of the pan, and the butter begins to smell nutty, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour butter into a large mixing bowl, and allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a mini Bundt® pan.
- Whisk together flour, salt, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Add brown sugar and white sugar to the bowl with brown butter. Mix butter and sugars together until thoroughly combined. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing very well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Add in half of the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Add in sour cream, mixing until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly between the mini Bundt® cavities.
- Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until the cakes spring back lightly when touched, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow cakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
