Directions

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease three (6x3 1/2-inch) disposable aluminum baking pans; set aside.Slice frozen pound cake into 3/4-inch slices. Cut two shapes from each slice using one (1 1/2- to 2-inch) cookie cutter; set aside.Combine brown sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed until well mixed; add sour cream and melted chocolate. Continue beating until well mixed; add all remaining cake ingredients. Beat at low speed until mixture is smooth.Pour 1/3 cup batter into bottom of each prepared pan; smooth surface. Stand pound cake cut-outs in center of each loaf pan, in single row, touching to form one long shape. Lightly press into batter, if necessary. Divide remaining batter among pans (about 3/4 cup each), spreading to completely cover cut-outs. Place loaf pans onto baking sheet; bake 35-40 minutes or until chocolate batter is baked through and toothpick inserted near edge of cake comes out clean. (Center of loaf may dip slightly.)
