Spicy Chocolate Jalapeno Cake image

Here's chocolate cake with a difference! This isn't a dare - jalapenos work absolutely beautifully with chocolate... And it's not as far fetched as you might think as Mayas used chili with cocoa thousands of years ago. (The amount of baking soda/powder has been changed to 2 based on the reviews.)

This cake is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less jalapeno next time.
