Some Chocolate Cake Shots are full of boozy goodness but don't contain any chocolate or cake. These are loaded with both chocolate and cake (but lack alcohol), and are perfect for a party or other festive occasion.

Chocolate Pound Cake1
Software:
Chocolate Buttercream:
Software:
1 Since these cakes are made in a mold, they need to be firm so a pound cake works particularly well.
2 Please note that this mold is marketed for use making ice cubes, not for baking. Since these are baked in a low-temp oven though, they might be safer (kind of, maybe). If you have concerns about using it in the oven, please just use a regular cupcake/muffin tin and cut out the centers of your cupcakes after baking. Also, this mold is awesome for making gummi shot glasses.

- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons sugar
