Easy Mexican Chocolate Cake

View this post on Instagram

Made a real quick cake tonight, just for shits & gigs. It’s a pretty simple riff on a Mexican chocolate-type torte, just chocolate, cinnamon, ancho chile, and vanilla, with slivered almonds and sesame seeds for textural contrast. Super basic, no recipe required (if you’re a snack cake weirdo who bakes a tea loaf a week, like I am, and like my homegirl @cake_historian). I pulled it out a minute early so it’s like pudding in the middle, like a warm kiss. 🍫 🍰 🌶#cake #chocolate #mexicanchocolate #baking #fastcake #dessert #friyay #workingonmynightcake #instabake #instacake #cakestagram #bakestagram #f52grams #bonappetit #huffposttaste #eeeeeats #forkyeah #sweets #mentalhealth #antidepressant #foodporn
