No need to share! With this recipe, everyone gets their own (mini) chocolate cake

Flourless chocolate cakes are rich, fudgy, and intensely chocolaty. Instead of using flour or leaveners for structure, like most other cakes do, these special cakes rely on a combination of eggs and cornstarch.

Happy New Year, indeed.
