   1 3/4 c  Flour; Unbleached, Sifted
       1 ts Cinnamon; Ground
       4 oz Semisweet Chocolate
     1/2 c  Butter Or Regular Margarine
       2    Eggs; Large
     1/2 c  Milk
       2 ts Baking Powder

 MMMMM-------------------CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM------------------------
       2 c  Heavy Whipping Cream
       2 ts Vanilla Extract
     1/4 c  Sugar
     1/2 ts Cinnamon; Ground
  
   Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves together; set
   aside. Combine chocolate and coffee in small saucepan.  Cook over low
   heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly.  Remove from
   heat and cool to room temperature.  Cream the butter and sugar
   together in a mixing bowl, until they are light and fluffy.  Use an
   electric mixer set on medium speed.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating
   well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and chocolate mixture.  Add
   dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating
   well after each addition.  Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed
   paper-lined 8-inch cake pans.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven
   for 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10
   minutes.  Remove from pans; cool completely on racks. To assemble the
   cake, place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread with Cinnamon
   Whipped Cream.  Top with second cake layer.  Frost sides and top with
   remaining Cinnamon Whipped Cream.  Refrigerate until serving time.
   CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Chill large mixing bowl and beaters. Combine
   cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat with an electric mixer
   set at high speed until soft peaks form and mixture is thick enough
   to spread. DO NOT overbeat or you will have butter instead of whipped
   cream. NOTE: The original recipe came from a GI who found it in Egypt
   when he was stationed there.  Hence the name.  The whipped cream
   frosting was added later but really adds to the recipe.
