With rich chocolate flavor and a warm gooey filling, these hot-from-the-oven minicakes are the perfect indulgence at the end of a busy day. Many supermarkets stock ground pecans in the nuts section; if you can’t find them already ground, chop pecan halves or pieces, and grind them in a food processor, minichopper, or spice grinder.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1½ tablespoons chopped pecans, ground
- 1 tablespoon warm water
