Found this recipe on Grassroots Recipes Mastercook Collections by Deirdre Dee Cox. It states that the original recipe came from a GI who found it in Egypt when he was stationed there. The whipped cream frosting was added later but really adds to the recipe. Posted for ZWT6.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups unbleached flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/8 teaspoon clove, ground
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup brewed strong coffee
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup regular margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, large
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

Steps:

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves together; set aside.
Combine chocolate and coffee in small saucepan.
Cook over low heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl, until they are light and fluffy.
Use an electric mixer set on medium speed.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in vanilla and chocolate mixture.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed paper-lined 8-inch cake pans.
Bake in a preheated 350 ºF oven for 30 minutes or until cake tests done.
Cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes.
Remove from pans, cool completely on racks.
Chill large mixing bowl and beaters.
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.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on serving plate.
Spread with Cinnamon Whipped Cream.
Top with second cake layer.
Frost sides and top with remaining Cinnamon Whipped Cream.
Refrigerate until serving time.

Tips:

To make the cake extra moist, use a combination of vegetable oil and melted butter in the batter.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
