I know I've said this about several of the previous Tuesday With Dorie recipes, but I think this is one of my favorites to date! I {heart} cinnamon, so I was super excited to see a recipe where it is showcased front and center. This recipe keeps things simple, with just some espresso and chocolate to complement the cinnamon flavor.
For the layer running through the middle of the cake, I used 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Guittard cappucino chips which I found at World Market (I love this store!):
Not only is this cake unbelievably yummy, it is super easy to make with no special equipment needed - you just need an 8 inch square pan, couple of bowls, a whisk, and a rubber spatula. (Please visit Tracey's blog for the complete recipe) All you need to do is combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another, then gently combine. The final touch is gently mixing in a healthy amount of melted butter. If you follow these simple steps, you will be rewarded with a wonderful cake with a an impossibly moist and tender crumb.
The smell of this baking in the oven was intoxicating! I had to restrain myself from eating this warm right out of the oven.
The smell of this baking in the oven was intoxicating! I had to restrain myself from eating this warm right out of the oven. This recipe is easy enough that I can actually imagine waking up bleary-eyed in the morning to get this prepped and in the oven. By the time I have a few cups of coffee and read the newspaper, this beautiful cake will be baked and ready to be devoured with...well, a few more cups of coffee! Okay, I'll admit it--- I'm a total caffeine junkie!

I'm a total caffeine junkie too and I've had this recipe bookmarked for a while. I was going to use cinnamon chips in the center but now I'm going to use cappuccino chips instead!
You know Guittard discontinued these chips, don't you? I went to World Market and bought them out. I'm embarrassed to say how many I actually purchased :-)
These look incredible and I've moved this recipe further up on my list!

suis jalouse Linda, je n'ai pas eu un aussi beau glaçage, mais suis nulle avec le chocolat ( le pire pour moi, étant de travailler le chocolat blanc :(
