Churros Cake with chocolate ganache

When talking about churros, we will think about the fried choux pastry.

That's dipped in cinnamon sugar and served with chocolate sauce.  But this time churros are coming in a cake form.

Actually, I really love the fragrance of cinnamon, so churros is one of my favorite sweets (plus it's fried food, haha).

Just mixing, putting in the pan, and baking, it's a lot easier than making choux pastry and frying (anyway, I didn't talk about the calories, ^^). 

For the amount of the cinnamon, I use 1/4 tsp of it in the cake, you can use less (or more) depend on your taste. I add the paprika powder into the chocolate ganache to make it more interesting, but if you want your ganache to get more punch, ัyou can use Cayenne pepper instead.
