Triple Chocolate Mini Cakes

Chocolate is amazing. That's why this recipe is fantastic because it contains three kinds of chocolate. It can't get much better than that, plus rum is added, and brown butter.. seriously, these cakes are delicious, and they will blow your mind.


In a saucepan put
1 stick of unsalted butter. Keep it on medium heat for about 20 minutes until it has been browned, and you see little dark specks forming in the butter. This adds a nutty flavor and makes any recipe containing butter even more delicious.

In a mixing bowl add:
1C confectioner's sugar
1/3C almond meal
1/4C all purpose flour
2T Dutch processed cocoa powder
1/4t baking powder

sift this, put back in the mixing bowl and whisk in:

4 large egg whites
2T dark rum
1t vanilla extract
1 1/2t honey
and the browned butter.

Mix till smooth. Then add:
1/4C mini chocolate chips

Choose any pan to bake these in, you can also make them into cupcakes. Spray the pan. Heat the oven to 350F bake for about 12 minutes, depending on the size of the molds. Bake longer if needed.

In a saucepan heat:
1/4C white chocolate
1/4C heavy cream

melt on low heat constantly stirring. Drizzle this over the cooled cakes, and dust some powdered sugar over that if desired. Enjoy.
