I made this for my recipe club and it was a hit. The glaze was delicious! Our store was out of kumquats, and I used sliced up clementines instead of tangerines. I also used canned whole cranberries. It is a pain to break up the chocolate but otherwise an easy recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1  cup whipping cream
  • 4  oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2  cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1  cup packed brown sugar
  • 3  eggs
  • 2  tsp. vanilla
  • 1-1/2  cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1  Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/4  tsp. baking soda
  • 1  recipe Butterscotch Glaze, recipe below

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour 9x5x3-inch loaf pan; set aside.

2. In small saucepan heat whipping cream over medium heat just until hot. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted. Let stand until completely cool.

3. Meanwhile, in bowl beat 1/2 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Add 1 cup brown sugar; beat on high until fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Beat in cooled chocolate mixture until smooth.

4. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda; add to butter mixture. Beat on medium until well-combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in prepared pan; smooth with spatula.

5. Bake 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. While loaf bakes, prepare Butterscotch Glaze. Cool loaf in pan on rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely. Pour half the Butterscotch Glaze on loaf. Pass remaining glaze. Makes 8 servings.

Butterscotch Glaze: In skillet combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons water, and 3 tablespoons unsalted butter; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup sliced kumquats; 1 tangerine, sliced and seeded; and 1/4 cup cranberries. Cook, stirring frequently, just until kumquats start to soften, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

I followed this recipe exactly. It was a bomb. Not THE BOMB, but A BOMB. I am not an experienced baker so this recipe looked easy enough. I wondered about the TBS of baking powder but I went ahead with it. All was well until 5 minutes into baking I smelled something burning inside the oven. I turned on the oven light & saw that my cake was a volcano, erupting and dripping over the sides of my pan, all over my oven. Something is WRONG with this recipe. Seriously wrong.

Dip into these fresh ideas for strawberries. The classic flavor combinations go beyond traditional chocolate.

Start with delicious asparagus, then build a buffet of easy add-ons to please everyone's palate.

Turn a plain-Jane store-bought curtain into something special using beads. No need to sew, just pat them into place ...
