Steps:
- For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, chipotle powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl until blended. Add the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes, then invert the pans to remove the cakes and cool completely.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until the frosting is very smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Spoon 2 cups of the frosting onto the top of one cake layer and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Top with the second layer. Spoon just enough frosting on top to make a thin but even coating of frosting on top and all along the sides of the cake; it is okay if this frosting gets messy and full of crumbs. Freeze the cake until the frosting is firm, about 10 minutes.
- Spoon the remaining frosting onto the cake and smooth evenly over the entire cake with the offset spatula. Dust lightly with cocoa powder and serve.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour three 9-inch cake pans and three 6-inch cake pans.
- Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition.

- Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the chocolate ganache: Combine the chocolate chips, cream and milk in a large pot and heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is hot, stirring to combine; do not allow to boil.
- To temper the egg yolk, put it in a large bowl and scoop a ladleful of the hot milk mixture into it, whisking constantly. Keep adding the rest of the hot milk mixture, a ladleful at a time, until completely combined. Whisk until the ganache is silky and shiny. Refrigerate until set and spreadable, 1 to 2 hours.

- For the marshmallow buttercream: Mix the butter, confectioners' sugar, marshmallow creme and vanilla extract in a stand mixer on medium until light and fully combined.
- For the cinnamon-nutmeg buttercream: Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on high until fully combined, light and airy
- To assemble: Top a 9-inch cake layer with 1 cup of the cinnamon-nutmeg buttercream. Place another 9-inch cake layer on top of it, then top with 1 cup of the chocolate ganache. Continue alternating cake layers with buttercream and ganache layers, leaving the very top bare. Cover the whole cake in a layer of the marshmallow buttercream.

MONTEZUMA'S HOT CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE
This is a rich chocolate cake with just a hint of heat. This is totally my own recipe. I originally started with just a chocolate sheet cake recipe that I wanted to spice up a little for something different. Then I remembered that the Mayan's "hot" chocolate was actually drunk cold and had been mixed with spices. It was Montezuma (1466-1520) who introduced Hernam Cortes to his favorite drink 'chocolatl' served in a golden goblet. And it was the fact that Montezuma consumed his "chocolatl" before entering his harem that led to the belief it was an aphrodisiac. :D The very first chocolate drink recipe ever published was in 1631 and called for chillies, almonds, hazlenuts, vanilla beans, cinnamon and anise among other things. I combined the two recipes and played around until I got the flavor I like. Note: This does call for almonds and hazelnuts. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

- Combine all dry ingredients in top of double boiler, stirring well to remove any lumps. Add enough boiling water to make a thick paste. Stir until smooth.
- Place onto the bottom half, over the boiling water. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups boiling water from the other pan. Keep stirring until the water is fully incorporated.

HOT CHOCOLATE MERINGUE CAKE
Steps:
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Stream in 1 ¼ cups sugar and continue to beat on high speed. Just as the whites reach their peaks, sprinkle in sifted coca and cayenne pepper and continue beating to stiff peaks. Spread the meringue within the circles. Bake for 3 hours, turn off oven, and let sit for 1 hour. Cool on the pan on a wire rack. Store in a very dry, cool place. Fill the layers with whipped cream and serve within 2 hours.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before starting, measure and gather all the necessary ingredients. Sifting the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt) ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Use quality cocoa powder: The quality of cocoa powder significantly impacts the flavor of your cake. Opt for a good quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich, intense chocolate taste.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and avoid overbeating.
- Proper oven temperature: Preheat your oven to the specified temperature before baking. An accurate oven temperature ensures even baking and prevents the cake from under or overcooking.
- Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the cake is done. Avoid overbaking, as it can dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake set properly and prevents the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This hot chocolate cake recipe offers a delightful and decadent treat that is sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With its rich, moist texture and intense chocolate flavor, this cake is perfect for special occasions or as a comforting dessert anytime. By following the tips and instructions provided, you can easily create a delicious hot chocolate cake that will impress your family and friends.
