Quick Mexican Chocolate Cake image

I love chocolate and cinnamon and came up with this cake one day. It has now become my family's biggest request. We always have Abuelita® tablets around and I wondered if they would melt well as a glaze, and they do!

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25 ounce) package dark chocolate cake mix
1 ⅓ cups warm water
3 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 Mexican chocolate drink tablets, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dust a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with a pinch of cake mix and set aside.
  • Mix cake mix, water, eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, pudding mix, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour into the skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a plate.
  • Place chocolate drink tablets and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the glaze has the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the glaze over the cake, spreading with a spatula. Let cool for 10 minutes and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
