Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are completely cool, frost and decorate as desired. A cream cheese or chocolate buttercream frosting pairs beautifully with this cinnamon chocolate cake.
