Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Chocolate Cake
- Preheat the oven to 170ºC (340ºF) and line two 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, and warm coffee or water until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, gently folding until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and bake for 22-24 minutes.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the dark chocolate on low heat, then allow it to cool. Beat together butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until fluffy.
- Add the cooled chocolate to the butter mixture along with vanilla extract and mix until velvety.
- Assemble the cake by layering the cake and frosting, then frost the entire cake.
- Decorate with sprinkles before serving.
