Yum! The bitter chocolate is tempered with sugar and the sweetness of the coffeecake itself. Like myself, you'll make this over and over. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup butter- flavored shortening or margarine |
11/2 cups sugar |
5 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup sour cream |
topping |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, grated |
powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10- or 12 inch tube pan or Bundt pan.
2. In large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter, shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Then beat in vanilla.
3. In a seperate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream. Mix well.
4. For the topping:
5. In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon and grated chocolate.
6. Put one- third to one- half of the thick batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle batter with half the topping. Repeat with the rest of the batter and topping. Run a knife through the topping and batter once to marble-ize the cake.
7. Bake about 55 minutes or until toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool pan for 10 minutes or more before inverting on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
