Yield: 6 cakes  Prep: 25 mins Start to Finish: 50 mins
Ingredients: 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus additional for pan, 180 grams of good-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped, +/- 65 grams of granulated sugar,  +/- 65 grams of packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 45 grams of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 large eggs, 14 caramel candies, 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F and arrange in middle of oven. Generously butter or spray a mini 6-heart (1/2 cup) baking pan.

2. Melt chocolate with butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, just until smooth. Remove pan from heat and stir in sugars and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt until just combined. Stir in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined well.

3. Spoon batter into pan and bake until cakes are just set, about 25 minutes. Transfer cakes in pan to rack and cool 5 minutes. Place a rack over cakes in pan and invert. Turn cakes right side up on rack.

4. Melt caramels with heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth, about 6 minutes. Fill a small heavy-duty plastic bag with caramel sauce. Snip off tip and pipe onto serving plate, spelling out L-O-V-E. Serve cakes warm or at room temperature with remaining sauce on the side. Makes 6 cakes.
