Makes one 8 1/2-inch loaf

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

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.

                I've made this several times and everybody loves it. The only variable is sometimes i change the type of chocolate i use. I buy the chips not blocks and melt them down, it makes a difference in the flavor. I've used semi-sweet, milk, and dark chocolate and each tasted. if you are aiming for sweet don't use bitter chocolate, the sugar doesn't combat that enough.

                I would like to make this recipe; but you do mention when you melt the chocolate if it should be cold or it does not matter. Also need to know if bitter chocolate does make a  different for this cake.
                Please adv

                This just didn't turn out right. It came out too floury and not sweet. Not a repeat recipe.

                I made this for a holiday gathering and everyone loved it. I  Will be making it again for SuperBowl Sunday.  Ganache was a little runny but was still delicious. bj

                When and how do you put the coin in the bread?  The recipe looks great, but I was expecting the instructions to include the 'lucky coin' info.
