I love it when I can find a dessert that just enough for my husband and me. I don’t like making a whole cake or pie when it’s just the two of us. It will just go to waste. But then there are little gem recipes that only make two servings and are fast and super-yummy, like these Mocha Pudding Cakes from Taste of Home.

I made these during the time of our quarantine. It made the perfect sweet ending to a meal and there were no temptations leftovers!

Here’s the recipe…

Mocha Pudding Cakes for Two

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons 2% milk
• 1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• TOPPING:
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
• 3 tablespoons hot brewed coffee
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• Whipped topping, optional

Preheat oven to 350°F.

• In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla until smooth. Spoon into two 4-oz. ramekins coated with cooking spray.
• Combine brown sugar and cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Combine coffee and water; pour over topping. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped topping or ice cream, if desired.

When you make this you’re going to have two really happy people in your kitchen – you and the one with whom you’ll share it! Pin it and then make it soon!
