Decadent French Fudge Cakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent French Fudge Cakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). Grab a dark-colored metal cupcake pan and grease six of its cups to ensure your cakes come out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and butter. Pop it in the microwave on low power for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once melted, stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

3. Step 3

   In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and salt until everything is well combined. Gently fold in the flour, mixing just until blended. Now, add the luscious chocolate mixture and stir a few times until the batter is smooth. Finally, fold in the pieces of bittersweet chocolate for that extra chocolatey goodness.

4. Step 4

   Spoon the rich batter into the prepared cupcake cups, filling them about three-quarters full. This will allow them to rise beautifully while baking!

5. Step 5

   Bake in your preheated oven for about 18 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a knife inserted into the center comes out with streaks of thick batter. The tops should look almost firm, inviting you to dig in!

6. Step 6

   Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes if you want to enjoy them warm, or allow them to cool for about 20 minutes for a delightful room temperature treat.
