Instructions

Cake Bites Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Heat butter, water, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir as butter melts. Bring to a boil then remove from heat.
Slowly pour the butter/chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir.
Mix eggs, milk, vinegar, baking soda and vanilla together in a small bowl. Add to the large bowl and mix until combined.
Pour batter into a greased mini muffin pan.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Let cake bites cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the pan and letting them cool on a baking rack.
To easily remove cake bites, run a sharp knife along the edge of each cake bite to loosen.

Frosting Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl beat butter, powdered sugar, baking cocoa, milk, and vanilla together until fluffy.
Microwave frosting for 30 seconds until smooth and melted.
Dip the top of each cake bite into the melted frosting. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. Allow frosting to set up before eating.
