1 1/3 cups warm water
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
4 Mexican chocolate drink tablets, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar (optional)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dust a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with a pinch of cake mix and set aside.
2

Mix cake mix, water, eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, pudding mix, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour into the skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven until a tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a plate.
4

Place chocolate drink tablets and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the glaze has the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes.

Pour the glaze over the cake, spreading with a spatula. Let cool for 10 minutes and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
