This fabulous Mexican chocolate cake is perfect for a Cinco de Mayo celebration.<\/p>\n<p>While most chocolate cakes start by beating butter and sugar together, this is a saucepan cake. It starts by melting butter with chocolate and water in a saucepan. That makes the cake moister, and also enhances the chocolate flavor of the cake. It also means this cake is easier to make!<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>For the Cake<\/p>\n<p>4 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate<br \/>\n1\/2 cup butter<br \/>\n1 cup hot water<br \/>\n2 cups flour<br \/>\n2 cups sugar<br \/>\n1 teaspoon cinnamon<br \/>\nPinch of salt<br \/>\n1\/3 cup buttermilk<br \/>\n1 1\/4 teaspoons baking soda<br \/>\n2 eggs (beaten)<br \/>\n2 teaspoons vanilla<br \/>\nFor the Frosting<br \/>\n2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate<br \/>\n1\/4 cup butter<br \/>\n4 cups powdered sugar<br \/>\n8 tablespoons milk<br \/>\n1\/4 teaspoon cinnamon<br \/>\n1 teaspoon vanilla<br \/>\nSteps to Make It<br \/>\nNote: while there are multiple steps to this recipe, this Mexican chocolate dessert is broken down into workable categories to help you better plan for baking.<\/p>\n<p>Make the Cake<\/p>\n<p>1 Gather the ingredients.<\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<p>2 Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 9- x 13-inch pan with nonstick baking spray containing flour and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>3 In a large saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter in the hot water and bring to a boil.<\/p>\n<p>4 Remove from heat and add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk or eggbeater.<\/p>\n<p>5 Then stir in the buttermilk, baking soda, eggs, and vanilla and beat until smooth.<\/p>\n<p>6 Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top springs back when touched with a fingertip. The cake should pull away from the sides of the pan slightly.<\/p>\n<p>Make the Frosting<\/p>\n<p>1 Gather the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>2 While the cake is baking, make the frosting. In a heavy saucepan, melt 2 squares of the chocolate and 1\/4 cup butter together.<\/p>\n<p>3 Add powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla and beat well. You may need to add more milk or powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency: the frosting should be pourable and smooth, not stiff and spreadable.<\/p>\n<p>To Assemble the Cake<\/p>\n<p>1 When the cake comes out of the oven, let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>2 Then pour the frosting over. Spread if necessary, and let the cake cool.<\/p>\n<p>3 Slice, serve, and enjoy!<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that the combination of chocolate and cinnamon is a classic Mexican dessert flavor?
