The cakes rise quite a bit the first fifteen minutes or so in the oven, then they start to fall. Don’t be alarmed by this – that’s how they are supposed to be! There’s something so nice and homely about a fallen cake: the crackled top, the fudgy center, the not-quite-so-perfect look about it. You will love these Almond and Chocolate Fudge Mini Cakes by Clémence Moulaert!
