Sugar with spice and everything nice

At first I was a little reluctant to use jalapenos. However my curiosity won over, and I added them. They gave this cake an extra little kick. This cake was amazing and everyone loved it!.

My new favorite cake

I made this cake for my family for Easter, and as soon as I bit into it I fell in love! The cinnamon adds a wonderful depth to the chocolate flavor, and it was very moist and kept for quite a few days. I also left out the jalapeños and used a different Nestle frosting recipe..
