Extra Moist Mini Chocolate Loaf

  Ingredients
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 4 Tbs. sugar (more if you want it a little sweeter!)
* 1 tsp coarse salt
* 1 pinch cayenne pepper
* 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
* 3/4 cup whole milk
* 1 egg
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 2 Tbs. melted butter
* pepitas for garnish
* sugar in the raw for garnish (optional)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, sugar, salt and cayenne pepper.
In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, milk, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet ones. Ha! Like the wipes. Not really. Once combined, add the butter. Mix to incorporate.
Pour into a lightly greased and lined (I used parchment paper) 3×7 loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with pepitas and a little bit of sugar in the raw, for extra sweetness and a tiny crunch! Bake for about 45 minutes (check at 30), or until a toothpick comes out clean.
