Life has been less than sweet this past year. So what could be better than a chocolate caramel dessert to cheer us up on this holiday of love? And remember, Valentine’s Day can be a time to let others know how much you appreciate them.

This dessert makes six individual servings, but you can easily drop off a couple of these cakes to neighbors and friends. You can either leave them with a note with baking instructions, or you can bake them and instruct to quickly reheat or eat chilled with a dollop of ice cream or creme fraiche.
