Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For extra indulgence, top your cinnamon chocolate cake with a simple chocolate glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy this warm and spiced take on a chocolate classic!
