Chocolate can be incorporated directly into the cake mix using a layering technique or by combining traditional coffee cake batter with chocolate icing.
Chocolate Coffee Cake is a semi-sweet breakfast food made with chocolate chips, cake batter, brown sugar, and butter. These primary building blocks can be combined in any order, either as a filling or topping, and used to create a wide variety of cakes, crumbles, and coffee streusels. Sour cream and cream cheese are often added to these types of recipes to add moisture and flavor to the cake.
A coffee cake can be any type of baked cake that is topped or swirled with a sweet filling or sugar-based crumble. This food is often served with coffee or tea for breakfast, the natural bitter taste of these drinks pairs well with the extremely sweet nature of these cakes. Although chocolate coffee cake is made with granulated and brown sugars, cinnamon, and chocolate chips or cocoa, it tends to be less sweet than other traditional chocolate-based desserts.
A streusel is a type of cake that combines a spongy, slightly sweet, baked cake base that is then topped with a crumble mixture. When making a chocolate coffee streusel, chocolate chips are added to the brown sugar, flour and butter and mixed until the mixture resembles raw cornmeal. Chopped walnuts can also be incorporated, to suit the chef’s flavor preferences. The base layer of the cake is typically a combination of flour, butter, sugar, milk, and yeast, to which cream cheese or sour cream may be added for added moisture and flavor.
The chocolate can be incorporated directly into the cake mix using a simple layering technique. Two separate batters are first prepared and alternately poured into a well-greased pan. Chocolate batter can be mixed together with cream cheese, chocolate chips, and sugar. The cake-based batter is similar to that used in chocolate coffee cake streusel, using flour, sugar, butter, egg, and baking powder. Half of the cake batter is added first, followed by all of the chocolate batter and topped with the remaining cake batter.
Making a chocolate coffee cake this way creates a moist marbled cake that can be served from a loaf or pan and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Marbled Chocolate Coffee Cakes can also be made by combining traditional coffee cake batter with chocolate icing. The icing can be made using melted chocolate chunks, butter, and powdered sugar. These two mixtures are then layered multiple times in the baking dish and mixed using a flat bladed knife to blend the two flavors evenly.
