• Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease and flour a 12-inch round cake pan.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine hot coffee, melted butter and cocoa powder, whisking to combine.
• Whisk milk into the coffee and butter mixture, until smooth.
• Pour cocoa mixture into the flour and stir, adding in the eggs and the vanilla until all ingredients are combined.
• Pour into prepared pan and bake 45 minutes or until fully baked and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• Allow cake to cool for 2-3 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Glaze

• Add all glaze ingredients into a saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring until shortening is melted and the glaze is smooth.
• Pour warm glaze over the cooled cake. Allow glaze to cool and harden before slicing and serving.
