Preparation

Step 1

I should let you know that the cakes are good on their own, without frosting, but if you’re going to take the extra minute to stir together the frosting, you should really grab the sprinkles, too.

Yields

Preheat the oven to 350.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, oil, vanilla, and coffee (or water).

Add the dry ingredients in two batches to the wet ingredients, and stir gently to combine.

Divide the mixture between the two ramekins.

While the cakes cool, make the frosting: whisk together all ingredients, adding more coffee or milk to thin it out to a pourable consistency. Sprinkles!
