Ingredients

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour*
- 1 cup Crystal Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- In a bowl whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ancho chile powder, and salt. Add water, canola, and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely.
- For Cinnamon Chile Whipped Cream, beat heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and chile powder on high until foamy, gradually add powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Top cake with cinnamon chile whipped cream, garnish with additional ancho chile powder if desired.
