This small but indulgent bite-size dessert features rich, moist ‘cork-shaped’ chocolate cakes filled with luscious bits of melted chocolate, served topped with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of vibrant raspberry syrup.
Why Try? Inspired by Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bakery, these small chocolate cakes are named for their shape, which resembles a cork or bouchon in French. We simplified this recipe with a prepared cake mix, then added chocolate and a burst of rich raspberry flavor for a ‘just the right size’ dessert layered with bold indulgent flavor.
We used a Bouchon Silicone Baking Mold for perfect cork-shaped bouchon cakes with lots of French cache.
