Brownie Mini Cakes Recipe

 
INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ( or 3 oz. dark chocolate, chopped)
1/3 cup cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup chopped figs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
 
Icing:
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp. icing sugar
1 tsp. stabilizer
1-2 tsp. vanilla instant pudding
Chocolate shavings

DIRECTIONS  
 
Line a 7-1/2-inch by 11-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.

Place butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add oil, chocolate and cocoa; stir together to melt. Remove from heat; cool slightly and mix in sugar, salt, and vanilla, then whisk in eggs, one at a time.

Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl; stir into the batter. Add figs and pecans. Spread batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the center of preheated oven at 350° F, for 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out just slightly sticky.

Remove pan to a rack and let cool. Remove the brownie with the paper from the pan, on to a cutting board. Peel off the paper from the sides of brownie. Using a 2-1/4-inch cutter, cut out as many circles as you can (about 12). Enjoy the leftover scraps for a snack.

For icing, beat together whipping cream, sugar, stabilizer and vanilla pudding until stiff. Spoon into a bag and pipe cream on top of each cake. Garnish top with chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
