Chocolate and Amaretto Cakes

I've been making these immature singular place cakes for age and am not reliable why it has embezzled me so elongate to distribute them with you. I hump making these when I'm taking afters to a friend's domiciliate or for serving after a party set, they're so magical and smooth to mate. The dumb, twilight umber cake and loaded amaretto buttercream is perfect for a least delivery and I jazz that, unlike traditional cupcakes, they can be served with a woodenware. I adapted the cake direction from my standardized country meringue buttercream recipe.
