1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa

CHOCOLATE STREUSEL POUNDCAKE



Chocolate Streusel Poundcake image

In this stunning dessert, a moist and soft chocolate poundcake is topped on two sides - bottom and top - with crunchy, slightly salty streusel flecked with chocolate chips. The combination of cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate gives this cake a particularly rich flavor. You can make it up to 3 days ahead. Store it at room temperature, well wrapped in foil. Then serve it topped with ice cream or whipped cream and fresh berries, or toasted and buttered, or plain as it is. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.

1/2 cup/60 grams all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons/45 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons/11 grams cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon/4 grams kosher salt
4 1/2 tablespoons/64 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup/60 grams semisweet chocolate chips
3 ounces/85 grams extra-bittersweet chocolate (70 percent), chopped
1 1/3 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup/89 grams Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon/2 grams baking powder
1/4 teaspoon/2 grams baking soda
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, melted
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/100 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon/4 grams kosher salt
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons/10 milliliters vanilla extract
1/2 cup/120 milliliters plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper, leaving enough to hang over the edges of the pan. Grease the parchment on the bottom of the loaf pan.
  • In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate for the cake, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool while you prepare the streusel.
  • Prepare the streusel: In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Using fingers or a fork, cut in the butter until it is evenly distributed and forms large, moist crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Scatter half the streusel evenly into the bottom of the loaf pan. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until baked through.
  • Prepare the cake: In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat melted butter, both sugars and salt together until combined. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, yogurt, milk and melted chocolate. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and top with remaining streusel. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake emerges clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely before turning out and slicing.

MOM'S CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE



Mom's Chocolate Pound Cake image

This was one of my favorite things to make when I learned to bake. My mom made this when we were little and it was a real treat to have this as a decadent coffee cake. This is good without any topping, but I have tried a variety of things on the top: melted chocolate frosting, powdered sugar or glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE STREUSEL CAKE (PASTEL DE CHOCOLATE MEXICANO)



Mexican Chocolate Streusel Cake (Pastel De Chocolate Mexicano) image

This is a Rick Bayless recipe. I made this for a Mexican themed dinner party and thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I took a bite! Oh soooo good!! Be sure to use Mexican chocolate, as it is different from all others. This cake is best when slightly warm and would go great with vanilla, caramel or cinnamon ice cream, but is also wonderful all by itself.

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 -19 ounces mexican chocolate, roughly chopped, divided

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Peanut     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Combine first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat on low speed until streusel is blended and crumbly. Transfer 1 cup lightly packed streusel to small bowl and reserve. Add eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda to remaining streusel in large bowl. Beat at low speed until evenly moist. Increase speed to medium and beat until well blended, scraping bowl occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup chips. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle with reserved 1 cup streusel and remaining 1 cup chips.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack.

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients and equipment in advance: Measure and gather all the ingredients, preheat the oven, and grease and flour the Bundt pan before you start mixing the batter.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients mix together more evenly and smoothly, resulting in a more tender and flavorful cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and airier.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake according to the recipe instructions: Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Make the chocolate streusel topping while the cake is cooling: Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and butter in a bowl and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cooled cake.
  • Serve the chocolate streusel pound cake with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries: Enjoy!
