How to Make Gourmet Mexican Beefnies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease and flour a 10x15 inch baking pan.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon chili powder over medium-high heat. Break beef into crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain off excess grease. Measure out ½ cup of the seasoned beef mixture and set aside for topping.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the remaining seasoned ground beef.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the reserved ½ cup of seasoned beef mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
- Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
