I made this easy to prepare cake for a friend of mine for her bday. It came together quickly and baked up perfectly in the time given. The cake really rose a lot making it perfect for a bundt shape, Id say.<br/>Everyone at the party loved the moist texture and the hint of cinnamon with the chocolate. I made two small cakes from half the recipe and 1 hour after cutting the first it was gone. :)<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a keeper with us, Mom2Rose!<br/>Made and reviewed for Aussie/Nz Recipe Swap #54 July 2011.

Update Feb/09: Just want to let you know that I have now sampled the finished product and it is very good indeed. We give it 4 1/2 stars. I had given the mix to my bachelor brother for Xmas. When he went to make it yesterday, he called me because the batter seemed too thick, more like cookie dough. So we decided that adding another 1/4 C of sour cream couldn't hurt anything, so he did. Well, we had it for dessert tonight at his house and really liked it. My brother said he preferred it the next day after it had been in the fridge as opposed to being served slightly warm. He did add icing to the top as well. I would make this again! Dec 20/08 I made these up for Christmas baskets. Usually, I would prepare it before giving as a gift, but am running out of time. I will update the rating once I bake it, but wanted to post a photo for you. Thx Mom2Rose
