Montezuma's Hot Chocolate Sheet Cake image

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...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 c butter
1 Tbsp instant coffee (optional)
1 c unsweetened cocoa
1 c water
2 c unsifted flour
1 1/2 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp chili powder or cayenne powder
1 tsp anise flavoring
1 c toasted crushed almonds
1 c toasted crushed hazelnuts
THE ICING
1/4 c butter
1 Tbsp coffee (optional)
1 c unsweetened cocoa
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 tsp chilli powder or ceyenne powder (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the cocoa and coffee, then water. Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and spices. Add cocoa mixture; mix well. Stir in 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, eggs, anise and vanilla.
  • 3. Pour into greased 15 x 10 jelly roll pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • 4. ICING
  • 5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter; stir in the cocoa, coffee, and cinnamon. Add the remaining sweetened condensed milk; stir in confectioners sugar. Spread on the warm cake.
  • 6. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
  • 7. Note: If the icing is too thin for your taste, it's simple to add more cocoa or confectioners sugar until you reach the consistency wanted. Or, if it's too thick just add a bit of milk. Also, if you decide to do away with the coffee (in the cake or the icing), just replace it with cocoa. :D.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a 9x13 pan and it was the perfect size. The cake was moist and the frosting was creamy and delicious.
