Spicy Chocolate Jalapeno Cake image

Here's chocolate cake with a difference! This isn't a dare - jalapenos work absolutely beautifully with chocolate... And it's not as far fetched as you might think as Mayas used chili with cocoa thousands of years ago. (The amount of baking soda/powder has been changed to 2 based on the reviews.)

This cake was a little too spicy for me, but it was still really good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less jalapeño next time.
