CHOCOLATE MARBLE ZUCCHINI BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Chocolate Marble Zucchini Bread Recipe by Tasty image

This twist on zucchini bread combines the best of both worlds: cinnamon and spice with decadent triple chocolate. Don't worry about squeezing excess liquid from the zucchini - it will keep the bread moist! Before you bake, swirl the two batters together with a skewer or knife for a perfect marbling effect. For the best slice, let the bread cool completely before serving - but you might not be able to wait that long!

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD



Chocolate Zucchini Bread image

Two types of chocolate-semisweet and cocoa powder-give this zucchini loaf its rich flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pan
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups coarsely grated zucchini (from 1 pound)
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (1 cup)
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on two long sides, then butter and flour paper.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, stir together butter, eggs, vanilla, and zucchini. Stir into dry mixture, then fold in chocolate. Pour into pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan and cool completely.
  • Glaze: In a small bowl, combine sugar and milk. Whisk until smooth. Pour glaze over bread, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Let stand until set, about 20 minutes, then cut into slices to serve. Bread will keep, unglazed, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm and has a dark green color. Avoid zucchini that is limp or has blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to mix into the batter.
  • Use a combination of chocolate chips: Using a combination of dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips adds a variety of flavors and textures to the bread.
  • Swirl the chocolate chips into the batter: Swirling the chocolate chips into the batter creates a marbled effect that is both visually appealing and delicious.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Marbled chocolate zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, rich chocolate flavor, and beautiful marbled appearance, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to bake, give this marbled chocolate zucchini bread a try.
