MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the cake: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-inch round cake pan with 2-inch sides with oil then line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together the egg, sugar, oil, sour cream, coffee and vanilla in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from the sides, 29 to 32 minutes. If you under bake the cake, it will slightly sink, so check it!
• Remove the cake from the pan by carefully running a paring knife along the edge to loosen, then tilting it into one hand and peeling off the parchment from the bottom; place it on a small cake stand.
• For the ganache: Combine the chocolate, cream and corn syrup if using, in a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl fitted over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and cream in the microwave on low in 25-second intervals, stirring between each.)
• Pour the ganache over the cake, and garnish with the pomegranate arils.

BAILEYS CHOCOLATINI

Steps:

• Strain drink into a chilled Martini glass.
• Garnish your Martini with chocolate shavings or chocolate flake.
• If you don't have chocolate then try a sprinkling of cocoa powder or hot chocolate powder.
• If you don't have either then don't worry, this drink is so chocolaty you'll find it hard to improve!

CHOCOLATE TURTLE MARTINI

Steps:

• Sweeten the cocoa powder to your liking by mixing the cocoa and powdered sugar.
• Take a large martini glass and very carefully coat the rim in caramel sauce from the squeeze bottle, being careful not to let it drip too far down the sides.
• Then, dip the entire rim of the glass into the sweetened cocoa powder, being sure to coat all of the caramel.
• The desired effect is a chocolate dusted caramel rim.
• You can also put just a drop of chocolate syrup at the bottom of the glass for color.
• Shake the vodka, creme de cacao and praline liqueur in a martini shaker with ice to chill.
• Fill the martini glass nearly full with crushed or shaved ice, being careful not to touch the rim.
• Strain the drink into the martini glass.
• Garnish atop the floating ice with a roasted pecan half and a small piece of chopped chocolate.
• Or you can garnish it with a half of a Turtle candy by making an incision and hanging it on the rim of the glass.
• Also, if you prefer your martini to LOOK dark like chocolate, I would use the dark creme de cacao, however, the garnish will stand out more when the drink is more translucent.
