Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12x18 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the margarine, oil, water, sour milk, eggs and vanilla, mix until smooth. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

CHOCOLATE MEXICANO

Steps:

• Place the sugar, cocoa, salt, flour, cinnamon, and water in a large saucepan. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the mixture dissolves into the water.
• After the mixture is dissolved, turn up the temperature of the stove to medium-high. Stir the mixture until it boils. Boils for 3-5 minutes, stirring all the time.
• Add the milk. Continue to stir until the milk is hot, but not boiling.
• Just before the milk boils, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, and serve!

CHOCOLATE MEXICANO

Steps:

• Chop up the chocolate tablets (no need to be fancy since they are going to dissolve into the milk).
• Add the milk and cinnamon stick to large pot over medium-high heat. Once you see the first tiny bubbles begin to appear in the milk, add the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and sugar and continue heating, stirring slowly but constantly, until the chocolate has melted. Add additional sugar if desired. Do not let the milk boil; if it looks as if it is going to start boiling, turn off the heat for a few minutes, continue to stir, then turn the burner back on at a lower setting. Once all the chocolate is melted, fish out the cinnamon stick and trash it. It's done its job.
• Carefully pour your chocolate Mexicano into your favorite mug and enjoy with your family and friends.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CHILE CAKE

Steps:

• Place chiles in a bowl with water to cover; let soak until slightly softened, about 15 minutes.
• Place 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Place chiles in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Add almonds, cocoa powder, flour, and cinnamon; process until almonds are chopped. Add Greek yogurt. Mix chile mixture thoroughly into the bowl of melted chocolate to make the batter.
• Place egg yolks and egg whites into 2 different bowls. Place 3/4 cup sugar into the bowl of egg yolks; mix until fluffy and creamy. Stir carefully into the batter.
• Beat egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Add 6 tablespoons sugar gradually, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Blend meringue carefully into the batter; pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cake cool, at least 20 minutes.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and 2 tablespoons butter in a bowl.
• Combine 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Pour over the bowl of chocolate; mix thoroughly. Let ganache cool, at least 15 minutes. Spread over the cake.
