• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix by hand or use an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add more flour if batter is too runny. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and let cool, 15 to 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill slightly, 15 to 30 minutes more. Slice the cooled cake through the middle to make 2 layers.

Steps:

• 1. You will want to make the cinnamon filling first because it must cool before you can put it on the cake.
• 2. First add cornstarch to the 1/2 cup of water and stir till it dissolves. In a sauce pan add the sugars, salt, and cornstarch and water mixture. Stir in butter. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil and let cook for 3 minutes or so, stirring often. Mixture will be thick and slightly reduced. Remove from heat and whisk in cinnamon and vanilla extract. Set in the fridge to cool stirring every so often so a skin does not form on top. Cool completely before using.
• 3. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. To make the cake, mix the ingredients together and spray two round cake pans with non-stick spray and flour. Bake about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
• 4. Let completely cool. When the cakes are cool level the bottom layer by taking a serrated knife and and moving it back and forth along the edge of the cake pan. Then flip the cake over on to a plate and then back over onto your cake plate. Do the same with the top layer only you will want to place it on top of the second layer.
• 5. Take the cinnamon filling it will be like a gel and and layer it on the bottom layer. Take the top layer and place it on the bottom layer.
• 6. For the frosting, with an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese together, about 3 minutes on medium speed until very smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to be sure it is mixed together. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness and thickness that you want for your cake. Mix together a little cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the top of the cake.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in the water, stirring until blended. Bring mixture to a boil and continue to cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and mix in the butter and vanilla. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring frequently. When smooth, remove from the heat and whisk in flour and egg yolks. Split the vanilla beans and scrape the seeds into the batter. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Beat at medium speed until peaks just begin to form. Slowly sprinkle in the remaining sugar. Continue to beat for 2 minutes. Stir a good-size dollop of the whites into the chocolate mixture, then very gently fold in the rest. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the insides of 10 ramekins or muffin cups, each with a capacity of about 1/2 cup. Cut out circles of parchment paper for the bottom of each mold, insert and then butter the paper. Fill each mold about 3/4 full and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool 1 minute. Run the tip of a knife around each cake to release it. Gently invert onto plates. Discard the parchment. Sprinkle each cake with confectioners' sugar. Top with a scoop of ice cream and serve.

Fold a little of the chocolate mixture into meringue; then fold meringue into remaining chocolate mixture, until mixture is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate about 8 hours.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Butter 12 metal rings 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches high. Place them on parchment paper. Using a spatula, spoon cool batter into a pastry bag with a tip opening of about 1/2 inch. Fill molds 1/3 full. Break remaining chocolate into pieces about 1 inch square and 1/8 inch thick. Drop a piece in each mold. Sprinkle a little cluster of vanilla seeds from remaining beans. Cover chocolate with more batter so molds are barely 2/3 full.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until risen and still a bit jiggly in center. Remove from oven. Have 12 plates ready. Slip tip of a knife under cake, and lift it a little; then slide a spatula underneath, and transfer to a serving plate. Holding mold in place with tongs, run a sharp knife around top edge of mold; then lift mold off cake with tongs. Repeat with other cakes. Serve immediately with ice cream.
