How to Make

  • FOR THE CAKE

  • Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

  • Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, coffee or water and vanilla. With your mixer on a low speed, begin adding the contents of each bowl to the butter mixture, alternating between the two until your mixture is fully blended.

  • Step 5: Divide the batter between the two pans.
