I went over to my friend Madeleine's house last night and she made the most delicious chocolate cake. It had cayenne and cinnamon to make it spicy and, I suppose, more like Mexican chocolate. I loved it! The recipe is below:
* 1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
* 1 cup sugar
* 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
* 1 tsp. baking soda
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
* 1 tsp. vanilla extract
* 1 Tbsp. distilled white or white wine vinegar
* 5 Tbsp. vegetable oil
* 1 cup cold water
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir in the cinnamon, cayenne, vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water. Mix until just combined.
• Pour into the prepared cake pan and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Chocolate sauce
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Combine ingredients in a saucepan over LOW heat, stirring constantly.

It's Reeves-friendly! (at least the cake is; the sauce is a little over the top).
Suzanne made this for us Saturday night. It was soft, moist and delicious. She made it with the "Thin & Rich" icing which I'll post. Very peppery, but the icing was a good match for the heat.
Made this for Reeves in the February Fury, the Powerhouse, the Armasnowgeddon of 2010!
