Finally add the melted MILLOT 74% chocolate and butter.
Pipe 30g of cake dough into a 3.5×3.5cm cube-shaped silicone tin.
Cover the molds with baking paper and place a baking sheet over them to prevent the dough from rising too much in the oven.
Bake in a fan-assisted oven at 355°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes.
Check it is fully baked by inserting a knife into the center.
If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Assembly and finishing
Once you have baked the mini cakes, removed them from their molds and left them to cool completely, freeze them for 30 minutes. In the meantime, make the MILLOT 74% crunchy coating. Remove the cakes from the freezer and while they are still very cold, dip them fully into the coating. Repeat this step with all the mini cakes. Place them on a baking sheet and return them to the freezer. Meanwhile, beat the MILLOT 74% whipped ganache until it has a soft, light and fluffy texture. Using a piping bag with a fluted nozzle, make a swirl of MILLOT 74% whipped ganache on each mini cake. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
