     Title: Mexican Hot Cocoa Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Dairy, Chocolate, Chilies
     Yield: 9 Servings

 1 3/4 c  All-purpose flour
     2 c  Granulated sugar
   1/2 c  Cocoa; Dutch-process
   1/4 c  Hot-chocolate mix; any kind
   1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
   1/2 ts Cinnamon
     2 ts Baking soda
     1 ts Baking powder
     1 ts Salt
     1 c  Buttermilk
     2 lg Eggs
 1 1/4 ts Vanilla extract
   1/2 c  Oil
     1 c  Strong coffee; room temp
     2 c  Whipped cream; with a few Tb
          - of sugar and a dash of
          - cinnamon & tsp vanilla
          Shaved chocolate; garnish

 Set the oven @ 300ºF/150ºC.

 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa
 powder, hot-chocolate mix, cayenne, cinnamon, baking
 soda, baking powder and salt.

 In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs,
 vanilla extract, oil and coffee.

 Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, a third at a
 time, whisking to incorporate between each addition.

 Arrange eight 8-ounce Mason jars on a sheet tray and
 carefully pour 1/2 cup batter into each jar. Place the
 tray in the oven and bake the cakes until a toothpick
 inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40-45
 minutes. (Cakes will overflow a little then collapse but
 don't worry... they will be tasty!)

 Remove from the oven. Whip the cream with sugar, vanilla
 and cinnamon until peaks are formed. Top each cake with
 the whipped cream and dust with chocolate shavings.
 Serve warm or cover the cake and refrigerate until you
 serve.

 NOTES: The cakes will stay good in the fridge for about
 a week. I didn't go through a full canning process for
 these. Also, take note that the cakes will overflow over
 the jars while they cook, which makes for a picture
 perfect jar full of bubbling-over chocolate goodness.

 Yield: makes 8-10 cakes in 8 ounce jars
