Chocolate gift cakelets
I vowed that I didn’t need any more Nordic Ware pans. And then I saw this one. And suddenly I found myself with a new Nordic Ware Gift Cakelette Pan*
. In my defense, I don’t have a mini holiday gift pan. Well, I have a holiday mini muffin pan, but the cakes I’ve baked in it don’t come out well. You can barely see the shapes. So I needed a new one.
I love how cute the mini cakes are in this pan. I wish I had a mini Christmas tree to stick them under. I wanted to make a holiday type of cake for this pan. I originally was planning on making chocolate gingerbread cake but then realized I was out of molasses. So instead I decided to make chocolate cinnamon cakes.
These cakes are easy to make and delicious. The cakes aren’t intensely chocolate, but they still have a good chocolate flavor and the cinnamon adds a great dimension to the cake and is perfect for this holiday season.

Notes
Can these be made a day ahead of being served? How to store it?
You can make them a day ahead. Allow them to fully cool, and then wrap them in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
hi! i have this exact same pan and LOVED the recipe that came with it (on the cardboard that the pan was attached to). Unfortunately, I misplaced the recipe and despite all sorts of attempts to find it online, have not been successful. Is there ANY chance that you may have this recipe? I would love to try the recipe you have posted on this blog, as well :).
thank you!

sorry I don’t!
