They are pretty, They are chocolaty bites of goodness.
Silicone molds are a game changer for pretty individual cakes. Spray the mold with an oil, fill, and pop in the oven for a quick, attractive presentation. Once they cool from the oven, you can push the cakes out from the bottom. This chocolate cake recipe requires no icing.
