INSTRUCTIONS
-
Before starting, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Add all the cake ingredients to a large bowl: cake mix, flour, cocoa powder, cold coffee, oil, eggs, sour cream, sugar, salt and vanilla. Thoroughly combine ingredients using a hand mixer or whisk. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl so not to miss pockets of dry ingredients.
-
Grease a 24 count mini muffin pan and fill each tin with batter. (You will have enough batter to fill two tins or to bake a first round, then a second).
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes and check for doneness using a toothpick.
-
Remove the cake bites from the pan after they have cooled for minutes and set on a platter.
-
While the cake bites are cooling, make the frosting.
-
Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it's melted. Add in the cocoa powder and heavy cream and stir until smooth. Bring it to a boil then remove the sauce from the heat.
-
Stir in the vanilla, powdered sugar, and chopped pecans to the mixture, and use a hand mixer if necessary to get it smooth.
-
While still warm, spoon a tablespoon of the frosting over each cake bite. Work quickly, the frosting tends to set up and crystalize fast.
NOTES
Other FAQ Suggestions:
- What Can I Use Instead of the Sour Cream? If you don’t have sour cream, buttermilk is the next best alternative- it has that perfect tanginess you’re looking for.
- Can I Freeze the Bites For Later? You sure can! You can actually make these in a big batch, allow them to cool down before popping them in freezer safe bags and freezing them.
- What Other Toppings Can I Use? We’ve used a chocolate frosting topped with chopped pecans for this recipe
