There are times when you want a quick dessert, but not a large amount. Maybe just enough for 2, 4, or even 6 people. This is one of our favorites. It's just enough for a small family, especially when there are only 2 or 4. It comes together quick, and you probably have the ingredients in your pantry.
You will need:
2/3 cup baking mix, (such as Bisquick or Jiffy)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tabs. cocoa
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 Tabs. softened butter
1/2 cup chocolate flavored syrup
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small / medium bowl, combine baking mix, sugar, cocoa, and 1/2 teas cinnamon. Whisk together to remove any lumps in the baking mix and cocoa.
Add in milk, egg, and softened butter. With a hand mixer on low, mix for 30 seconds, then with the hand mixer on medium mix for 3 minutes. Be sure to scrape the bowl often.
Pour into an 8 X 4 inch loaf pan that has been sprayed with baking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven, and allow to cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
Gently remove cake from pan, and allow to cool.
While the cake is cooling, in a small microwaveable bowl combine the chocolate syrup and the remaining 1/4 teas. cinnamon. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir.
Drizzle the topping over the top of the cake.
Your quick and easy chocolate cinnamon cake is now ready to serve.
The cinnamon adds a nice touch to the chocolate. My husband likes to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of his cake, which is also very delicious.
So, the next time, you're in a hurry to get a dessert for your dinner - give this chocolate cinnamon cake a try.
Enjoy !!
