  Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves together; set
  aside. Combine chocolate and coffee in small saucepan.  Cook over low
  heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly.  Remove from
  heat and cool to room temperature.  Cream the butter and sugar
  together in a mixing bowl, until they are light and fluffy.  Use an
  electric mixer set on medium speed.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating
  well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and chocolate mixture.  Add
  dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating
  well after each addition.  Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed
  paper-lined 8-inch cake pans.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven
  for 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10
  minutes.  Remove from pans; cool completely on racks. To assemble the
  cake, place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread with Cinnamon
  Whipped Cream.  Top with second cake layer.  Frost sides and top with
  remaining Cinnamon Whipped Cream.  Refrigerate until serving time.
  
  CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM:
  
  Chill large mixing bowl and beaters.  Combine cream, sugar, vanilla,
  and cinnamon and beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until
  soft peaks form and mixture is thick enough to spread.  DO NOT
  overbeat or you will have butter instead of whipped cream.
  
  NOTE:
  
  The original recipe came from a GI who found it in Egypt when he was
  stationed there.  Hence the name.  The whipped cream frosting was
  added later but really adds to the recipe.
