Mini Chocolate Raspberry Cakes image

Instead of making individual hot fudge sundaes for guests, make these cute little cakes! Raspberry and chocolate always pair well. I like to stir 1/2 cup raspberries directly into the sauce, but you can also use them as a garnish.-Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia
