Cinnamon Cake With Chocolate Ganache

You could never go wrong with chocolate and cinnamon. They go along perfectly well ..

This is my favourite butter cake recipe. Normally I prefer sponge cake than butter cake. But this one is an exception, even my hubby who is not really a cake fan, likes this.

The recipe is mbak Fat's basic butter cake recipe. Instead of spreading the cinnamon powder all over the baked cake, I practically put the cinnamon powder into the batter so I could get more 'cinnamony' flavour. And yes it is cinnamony alright. It is good even without the chocolate ganache. But if you want a little something extra to go with your cinnamon cake, chocolate is the perfect pairing.
