directions

  • Make the cake batter:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter one 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Butter the parchment paper and dust the pan with 1 tablespoon cocoa.
  • Set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and set aside.
  • In a double boiler over simmering water, melt 6 ounces chocolate and the butter. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer set on medium high, beat the eggs and sugars until the mixture thickens and increases in volume-about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low, add the chocolate mixture and the vanilla, and beat until combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and beat until incorporated.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until cake springs back when lightly touched in the center-30 to 40 minutes.
  • Make the glaze: Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  • Invert the cake onto the wire rack, remove the parchment paper, and cool completely. Transfer cake to a serving dish.
  • Melt the remaining bittersweet chocolate and drizzle over the top of the cake.
