Health and fertility benefits of Cinnamon-Chocolate Snackin' Cake Recipe

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 cup cola
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in marshmallows; set aside. In a small saucepan, bring the cocoa, cola, oil and butter just to a boil. Pour over flour mixture; mix well. Stir in the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350 ° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack.
For frosting, in a large saucepan, bring the cocoa, cola and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and 3/4 cup pecans until blended. Cool slightly. Spread over cake; sprinkle with remaining pecans. Cool until frosting is set before cutting.
