Little Carrot Cake

If you are looking for the perfect carrot cake but in a little version, then this is it. Last year I shared a recipe for carrot cake, which in its normal size and glory was a huge hit. I wanted the same exact deliciousness but a smaller version of it. Thanks to my handy husband, he scaled the recipe down to this 6 inch cutie. This carrot cake is so moist and delicious.

However, this carrot cake captured my attention last year so I convinced myself to put my insecurities aside and try it. And guess what? I failed. I’m not kidding. When I tried this recipe last …

Somewhere along the way I realized that I marked each blog-iversary with a recipe that has chocolate in it… coffee chocolate chip cookie bars, chocolate chip doughnuts, single serving whole wheat chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cupcakes for two, banana bread doughnuts with chocolate glaze, warm chocolate fudge cakes, then chocolate chip black and white cookies. I am continuing that tradition to share what may be the chocolatiest dessert that I’ve ever made, these chocolate lava cakes. I’ve always wanted to make lava cakes but I …
