Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1.75 c flour, sifted
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
5/8 tsp cloves, ground
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 c coffee, brewed strong
1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c milk
CREAM INGREDIENTS
2 c heavy whipping cream
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground

Steps:

  • 1. Sift together: flour, baking powder, cinnamon & cloves together. Set aside.
  • 2. Over low heat, melt chocolate in coffee in small saucepan; stir frequently to avoid burning chocolate. Once combined, remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Using an electric mixer on MEDIUM speed, cream butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl, until light and fluffy.
  • 4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add cooled chocolate/coffee mixture and continue to beat.
  • 5. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
  • 6. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed paper-lined 8-inch cake pans.
  • 7. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30 minutes or until cake tests done; cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes.
  • 8. Remove from pans; cool completely on racks.
  • 9. To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on serving plate; spread with Cinnamon Whipped Cream and top with second cake layer.
  • 10. Frost sides and top with remaining Cinnamon Whipped Cream; refrigerate until serving time.
  • 11. CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Chill large mixing bowl and beaters.
  • 12. Combine cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until soft peaks form and mixture is thick enough to spread; DO NOT overbeat or you will have butter instead of whipped cream.
