Easy Chocolate Cake and Cinnamon Sugar Scones

Step 1: Prepare Chocolate Cake Batter

Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing until a smooth chocolate cake batter is formed.

Step 2: Bake Chocolate Cake

Pour the chocolate cake batter into a round baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 3: Prepare Scone Dough

Mix all ingredients for the cinnamon and sugar scones in a bowl until a cohesive dough is formed.

Step 4: Bake Scones

Scoop portions of the scone dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve Baked Goods

Allow the chocolate cake and scones to cool slightly before serving. The scones are described as tasting very good and are still steaming when broken open.

• Use parchment paper to line baking pans for easy removal and cleanup.

• To check if the cake is done, insert a fork (or toothpick) into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
