Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

What is a pudding mold? Is there an alternative way to prepare this, because I am a chocoholic and it sounds amazing.
