To make the Chocolate-Glazed Gingerbread Cakes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 12-cup muffin pan and line bases with parchment paper.
Place ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup molasses,½ cup brown sugar, and ¾ cup milk in a saucepan over low heat, heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let cool.
Place 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon allspices, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 pinch nutmeg, 65 grams chopped unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.
Add in 1 egg and the cooled honey mixture and process for 1 minute or until a smooth batter forms.
Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, place 200 grams of chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, heat 100 milliliters cream and bring almost to a boil. Add to the bowl with chocolate and stir until smooth. Add in 15 grams butter and 1 teaspoon glucose syrup, and stir until smooth. Leave to cool to room temperature.
Dip each cake in ganache. Alternatively, spoon the chocolate ganache over each cake, letting some drip around the sides. Top each cake with candied ginger.
Serve and enjoy!
