Chocolate-Cinnamon Swirl Cake image

Recipe passed to me a few months ago by an aunt. Make sure to use high quality cocoa for a richer flavor. This will keep well in a fridge and can be reheated in the microwave (covered loosely with a paper towel or napkin).

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup white sugar
5 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch glass baking dish.
  • Mix together sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl; set topping aside.
  • Combine butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and mix until well blended. Mix in vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift in flour and baking powder and blend until thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon topping. Spread remaining batter on top and sprinkle with remaining topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Not a fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cake still turned out great! Moist and chocolatey. ?

The cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was spot on. I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

Easy to follow recipe and the cake came out delicious. I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and it added a nice depth of flavor. Highly recommend!

Absolutely divine! The cake was moist and fluffy, with a perfect balance of chocolate and cinnamon. The glaze on top added an extra layer of sweetness and richness. I served it to my friends and family, and they all raved about it. Definitely a keepe
