Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Cream the unsalted butter until soft.

Gradually add granulated sugar to the creamed butter and mix until well combined.

Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl.

Crack the eggs and have them ready to go.

Add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk and mixing well after each addition.

Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
