Cinnamon Fudge Cake

March 17, 2014 by Kay 15 Comments

Cinnamon Fudge Cake is a decadent, chocolate & cinnamon filled cake that comes alive in your mouth and it makes you want more!

I don’t normally pair chocolate and cinnamon together, but in this case it really works.  You bake this cake on a 9 x 12 baking sheet, so the cake to frosting ratio is perfect. I tend to like more frosting than cake, so this is the perfect cake for me.

When I bake goodies in my kitchen for my blog I tend to take some of the baked goods to work with me to share with my fellow co-workers. I will be honest with you, after my hubby Mr. B and I had a slice, it was evident that this cake would not be shared with my co-workers.

I will tell you that I microwaved my piece of cake for ab out 20 seconds and it helps to soften the frosting, and it is oh so perfect 🙂
