To make this Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
For the chocolate glaze:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon sugar layer and swirl with a knife.
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the chocolate glaze, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve.
This Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Cake is a perfect combination of rich chocolate and warm cinnamon flavors. The moist and fluffy texture of the cake is complemented by the sweet and spicy swirls of cinnamon sugar. The chocolate glaze adds a decadent touch to the cake, making it a truly irresistible dessert.
