Desserts - Ole Mole Cake

Serves 10 - 12
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 t cinnamon
1 t baking soda
1/4 t cayenne pepper
1/4 t salt
1 cup cold water
 1/4 cup canola oil
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T vanilla

Heat oven to 350 F;  lightly coat 8" pan with Pam.  Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth.  Pour into pan and bake 25-30 minutes until toothpick insered in the center comes out clean (I found it took a bit longer).  Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes;  remove from pan and cool completely.

Glaze
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
6 T water
10 small strawberries

When cake has cooled, whisk together the first three glaze ingredients.  Dip each strawberry into the glaze and set aside (I also picture using raspberries or oranges).  Pour remaining glaze over cake and arrnage strawberries on top.  (Before placing berries, I refrigerated the glazed cake to firm up the glaze, then topped with berries and put back in fridge).  Take out of fridge about 15 mins before serving to soften glaze. (I used only about 1/2 this glaze.)
