Cinnamon Spiced Chocolate Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
This cake is the 'Mexican Hot Chocolate' (spiced hot chocolate) version encased in a cake. The warmth of the cinnamon and the bitter depth of the cocoa offer such a complex taste experience that goes far beyond a simple chocolate cake. The spices do not overpower, but highlight the character of the chocolate, similar to how salt does with food.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour the tin.

Tip: For dark doughs, you can also dust the tin with cocoa powder instead of flour.
2 ✓

Melt the butter and chocolate together over steam. Leave to cool.

Tip: Slow melting preserves the shine and taste of the chocolate.
3 ✓

Sieve the flour, baking powder, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl.

Tip: Even distribution of cinnamon is critical; nobody wants to bite into a pure cinnamon lump.
4 ✓

Beat the eggs with the sugar until foamy, mix in the buttery chocolate.

Tip: The sugar doesn't need to dissolve completely, but the mass needs to lighten.
5 ✓

Fold in the dry mixture and the milk. Mix until lump-free.

Tip: Do not overwork, only until the flour disappears.
6 ✓

Bake for 35-40 minutes. Skewer test!

Tip: If there is sticky mass on the skewer, bake longer. If only moist crumbs, then it is good (juicy).
7 ✓

Cool down, then dust with icing sugar.

Tip: You can also use cinnamon icing sugar on top.

Recipe FAQ

The cookie turned out too dry, why?
Cocoa doughs are prone to drying out if overbaked. Always check with a skewer 5 minutes before the end!
Can I put other spices in it?
A pinch of chilli or cardamom can make it even more exciting.
