Vegan Cocoa Bundt Cake With Chocolate Glaze

This cake is kind of special to me, as I like it's shape, chocolatey flavour with a little bit of a bitter taste of cocoa powder and spiced up with cinnamon.
I used a very old clay mould for baking, that was in my family for a long time. It's a bit crushed now on the edge, but it's still good for baking.

I had a birthday yesterday and I made a cake for me and my friend who also had a birthday yesterday and we celebrated with some cake and coffee.
So this time I actually made a cake with a reason. 😃

That's a photo of me and my sister from 26 years ago, when we celebrated my second birthday and we had cake! 😍

I don't remember this birthday or cake, but my first memories started in the kitchen.

I could still be found playing with fire years after.

Besides kitchen work, I remember I always loved chocolate.
I think everyone loves chocolate and this cake is just perfect for every chocolate lover.
