Our very sweet friend Steph from Steph’s Bite by Bite is getting married next weekend so we decided to throw her a Virtual Bridal Shower!
Steph is one of the nicest bloggers I have ever “met” and I am so super excited for her! I’ve been hearing about this wedding for months…it’s about time! 
While trying to decide what to make for Steph I played around with a couple of ideas, but I knew that I wanted it to be something sweet, smooth, and chocolaty.
These cakes made the cut, and thank goodness that they did – they are freakin’ delicious!
It’s cake. It’s chocolate. It’s hot. It’s gooey. I wish I made more. I am still shocked that they survived a photo session.
Congratulations Steph! I hope you and the Mister will enjoy these cakes as much as I we did!
Hot Chocolate Fudge Cakes
(inspired by My Recipes)
You will need:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped
- powdered sugar
Directions:
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In your mixer’s bowl cream the butter, then add in the sugar and brown sugar; beat until well combined.
- Add in the eggs and the vanilla and continue mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Fold the flour mixture into the sugar mixture, then fold in the chopped chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among 8 4-ounce ramekins, cover and put in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Take out the ramekins from the fridge and let sit in room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are puffed up and crusty on top.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve while they are hot.
- If you like, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… nom nom nom!
ENJOY!

Ohhhh, I loved my bridal shower. Congrats Steph! These do look “freakin” delicious Kate and I don’t think they would’ve survived a photo shoot in this household either, the batter probably would’ve been licked off a spoon risking salmonella, lol!
These look amazing! Perfect addition to the “shower”!
Oh. Oh wow. Oooh. *mesmerized by molten chocolate* Those look delicious!
Congrats on making Foodbuzz Top 9 today my friend. Buzzed ya! Love it!

How sweet of you to throw a virtual bridal shower!
Luv the look and description of these decadent, ooey-gooey choco cakes. This will surely satisfy my chocolate cravings!
Love the virtual bridal shower idea! These chocolate cakes are truly divine. I want to dive in!!!
I love the idea of a virtual bridal shower! While I was reading the blog and the recipe…I can’t help but see the sweet treat being appropriate for the occasion. The ingredients have to be fantastic as they are before they can bring out something great when mixed together. You need to have the exact mixture otherwise one will overpower the other. Sounds like compromise, or give in take, right? Thanks for posting this sweet treat and for getting us to take part in this virtual event…Have a sweet as chocolate, hot and fudgy married life ahead!
Ohmygawd…talk about decadence! Hot chocolate fudge cakes, where have you been all my life?
