Yay! I finally used the cupcake cake pan that my baby sis sent me for my birthday!
My experience with cake molds is that you need a firm cake. I looked for a chocolate pound cake recipe online thinking it would go over well with my son. I found a recipe by Paula Deen, full of butter of course, and I figured that would be a winner recipe (she knows her fatty foods!)
I decided not to frost the cupcake. It really isn't needed. I think I might make some pudding for a filling.
Winner winner chicken dinner! James loves the cake. He was so excited to see the "biggest cupcake ever"! The cake wasn't as firm as I thought, but very fluffy and chocolate-y. The outside of the cake became slightly crisp, which worked well for it to hold its shape.
The cake pan was smaller than the recipe so I tried to put the rest of the batter in small loaf pans. I guess I should have greased and floured those pans too. DOH. Well, the scraps made for a good taste test and small snack for James.
I caught James trying to sneak a taste of the cupcake. And he just begged me to let him have the cupcake before dinner :)
