How To Make Chocolate Cake Bread
The chocolate cake bread recipe involves a process of combining bread dough with a chocolate cake to create a delicious and unique treat. First, prepare a smooth bread dough by combining all ingredients besides butter in a bowl. Continue to knead the dough by adding the softened butter with a stand mixer or by hand. Next, let the dough rise until doubled in size. While the dough is rising, prepare the chocolate cake batter by whisking together melted butter and chocolate, egg yolk, milk and sifted cake flour in a bowl. Beat the egg whites with sugar in a separate bowl until a stiff peak forms. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, and combines well. The chocolate cake is baked separately, cooled, and trimmed. Next, assemble the bread by rolling out the risen bread dough into a rectangle, and placing the chocolate cake on top. Roll it up tightly into a log, and pinch the edges to seal. Transfer the dough to a loaf tin and let it rise again until doubled in size. Finally, bake the bread for 25 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy.
Baking Tips
To make soft and fluffy bread, ensure that the dry yeast is fresh and active. Plus, properly knead the dough with a stand mixer or by hand until smooth and elastic. This helps to develop gluten, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture. For the spongy chocolate cake, use room-temperature eggs and milk before starting. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and promotes better volume and texture. Use a gentle folding motion when incorporating the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture or when adding the whipped egg whites. This prevents the loss of air and maintains the fluffy texture of the batter.
