This cake makes a great "grown up" chocolate birthday cake, with the cinnamon giving a slightly more sophisticated taste, for the child in all of us!

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray, or any kind of tube baking pan.
Put the butter, water, oil, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan and heat up to the simmering stage so everything is well combined, then remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, sieve together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl and then pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well. Then, add the buttermilk and stir in.
Mix together the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, and then add this and one packet of chocolate chips (use milk, plain or white, depending on personal preference!) to the batter and stir in.
Now pour batter into your prepared pan and put in the oven for approximately 50 minutes. I check it at this stage, and it doesn't hurt if the inside is still slightly undercooked, as when it cools this becomes like a fudgy inside.
Chef's Tips
I generally just give this a dusting of icing sugar before serving to finish off, as you can see in the picture. Works well served with ice cream.

I made this today and it was really tasty. The cinnamon was just right. I followed the recipe exactly and everything turned out perfect. I even used exactly the same baking tin. I will definately make it again soon.
