Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Cocoa powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and water in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and vegetable oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Cut the cooled cake into small squares or rectangles. Dip each piece into the glaze, then drizzle with the melted chocolate.
10. Allow the glaze and chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy!
