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!

  • Fold the dry ingredients into the remaining bowl of wet ingredients.
  • Grease a 9x5-inch (6 x 12 cm) loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • Using 2 ¼-cup measures, alternate scooping the batters to the prepared pan to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 70-80 minutes.

  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE MARBLE BREAD WITH GANACHE



Chocolate Marble Bread with Ganache image

This chocolaty loaf is a bit lighter than pound cake. It's great with a glass of milk, but the swirls and ganache make it fancy enough to offer with dessert wine.

Yield Makes one 8 1/2-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2-by-4-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder into a medium bowl.
  • Melt 5 ounces chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  • Put butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar; raise speed to medium. Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two batches of milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour half of batter into melted chocolate; stir well. Alternating between remaining plain batter and the chocolate batter, drop large spoonfuls of batter into the prepared pan. When pan is filled, use a table knife to cut through mixture with a swirling motion.
  • Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. (If bread browns too quickly, tent with foil.) Let bread cool slightly in pan on a wire rack, about 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of bread to loosen; unmold. Let cool completely on rack.
  • Make ganache: Put the remaining 3 ounces chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just about to simmer. Pour cream over chocolate; stir until mixture is smooth. Let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Using a small offset spatula, spread ganache over cooled cake; let stand until set, about 1 hour.
