Each cake gets a delicious dollop of Maple Whipped Cream.

After baking, top with berries and blueberry preserves.

The sprinkles certainly add some fun and flair, but they’re optional.

Try violas, tuberous begonias, English daisies, and pansies.

Molten Red Velvet Mini Cakes

Sharing dessert is overrated.

Enjoy a single-serving of gooey chocolate molten red velvet cake with whipped cream frosting.

The secret is to put a scoop of chocolate ganache in the center of each cake before baking.

Zingy grapefruit balances the rich sweetness of the cake batter.

Serve them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Baking at a high temperature ensures the outside cooks through while the interior turns into molten gold.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite bourbon.

Two contrasting glazes make it extra indulgent.
