1 teaspoon(s) black cocoa (optional)
1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon (optional)

Serve on a serving platter that has been dusted with powdered sugar or bakers sugar. Serve with Ice cream or Whipped cream or a warm custard or pudding with fruit. Or your favorite warm dessert sauce like caramel, fudge, strawberry, rum, or brandy ...etc. Or just serve plain with powdered sugar dusting.
