How to Make Chocolate Pecan Cakes With Choc Baileys Sauce

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line the bases and sides of 10 recesses in two 6-hole muffin tins with baking paper.
In a small saucepan, melt 100g dark chocolate and 50g unsalted butter over low heat. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat 100g caster sugar and 2 large egg yolks with an electric mixer until thick and pale.
Gently fold the egg mixture, 50g pecan meal, 50g chopped pecans, and 25g grated dark chocolate into the cooled chocolate mixture. Combine until just mixed.
In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
**Choc-Liqueur Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 100g dark chocolate, 50ml Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, 50ml thickened cream, and 10g unsalted butter. Stir over low heat until smooth and melted.
To serve: Drizzle the cooled cakes generously with the warm chocolate sauce and sprinkle with extra chopped pecans.
