Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray, or any kind of tube baking pan.

  • Put the butter, water, oil, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan and heat up to the simmering stage so everything is well combined, then remove from the heat.

  • Meanwhile, sieve together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl and then pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well. Then, add the buttermilk and stir in.

  • Mix together the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, and then add this and one packet of chocolate chips (use milk, plain or white, depending on personal preference!) to the batter and stir in.

  • Now pour batter into your prepared pan and put in the oven for approximately 50 minutes. I check it at this stage, and it doesn't hurt if the inside is still slightly undercooked, as when it cools this becomes like a fudgy inside.
  • Tips

    • I generally just give this a dusting of icing sugar before serving to finish off, as you can see in the picture. Works well served with ice cream.

    • I made this today and it was really tasty. The cinnamon was just right. I followed the recipe exactly and everything turned out perfect. I even used exactly the same baking tin. I will definately make it again soon.

    This cake makes a great "grown up" chocolate birthday cake, with the cinnamon giving a slightly more sophisticated taste, for the child in all of us!
