These ruby chocolate friands are one of my favorite quick bakes when I'm craving something elegant but don't have much time. With just 45 minutes from start to table, they're perfect for busy weeknights or last minute guests. The ruby chocolate gives these tender little cakes a stunning pink hue and a naturally sweet flavor, while the cocoa powder adds depth and antioxidants that make indulging just a bit better for you. Best of all, the ingredient list is short and uses pantry staples you probably already have, so there's no need for a special shopping trip.
