Mini Chocolate Raspberry Cakes image

Instead of making individual hot fudge sundaes for guests, make these cute little cakes! Raspberry and chocolate always pair well. I like to stir 1/2 cup raspberries directly into the sauce, but you can also use them as a garnish.-Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia

These cakes were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as fluffy as I would have liked. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I loved these cakes. The raspberry filling was so good that it made me forget all about the chocolate.

I had some trouble finding fresh raspberries, so I used frozen raspberries instead. The cakes still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with fresh raspberries.

These cakes were delicious, but I found them to be a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.

I love chocolate and raspberry together, so I knew I had to try these cakes. They did not disappoint! The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, and the raspberry filling was tart and tangy. The two flavors complemented each other perfectly.
