How to Make Dark Chocolate Cake With Warm Glaze
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, ½ cup margarine or vegetable oil, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Immediately pour the hot cocoa mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before preparing the glaze.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt ¼ cup butter or margarine and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder over low heat.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 2 cups powdered sugar and ¼ cup milk until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the warm glaze over the slightly cooled cake, spreading evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
