CHOCOLATE RIPPLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350ºF (325ºF if using a dark nonstick pan). Generously butter a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom.
• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until almost melted. Remove from the heat and cool to tepid. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, pecans, both sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and stir with a fork. Add the flour mixture to the butter and stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
• In a food processor, pulse the pecans, chopped chocolate, both sugars, and cocoa until the chocolate is finely chopped, 12 to 14 pulses. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture as an additional topping.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar slowly, beating until combined. Scrape the bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending each one completely before adding the next. Scrape the bowl and blend in the vanilla. On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream, adding the flour in four parts and the sour cream in three parts, beginning and ending with the flour, and scraping the bowl as needed.
• Spoon 2 generous cups of the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth with the back of a soupspoon, spreading the batter to the side of the pan first and then to the center. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the filling evenly over the batter. Cover the filling with about 2 cups of batter, dropping dollops around the pan and smoothing with the spoon. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup filling evenly over the batter and cover with 2 more cups batter. Layer on another 1/2 cup of filling and then the remaining batter. (You'll have four layers of batter and three layers of filling.) Insert a table knife 1 inch from the side of the pan straight into the batter going almost to the bottom. Run the knife around the pan two times, without lifting up the blade, spacing the circles about 1 inch apart. Smooth the top with the back of the soupspoon.
• Take a handful of the streusel crumbs and squeeze firmly to form a large mass. Break up the mass into smaller clumps, distributing the streusel evenly over the batter. Repeat with the remaining streusel. Clump the reserved chocolate filling mixture together with your hands and sprinkle over the streusel. Press both toppings lightly into the surface of the cake. Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown, the sides are beginning to pull away from the pan, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 70 to 75 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least an hour before removing from the pan.
• See our test kitchen's tip on how to keep the streusel from falling off when you remove the cake from the pan.

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• You can either make a ring shaped cake or a long log or you can make a shorter log using 2 rows of biscuits instead of one--you decide.
• Get a plate or pretty cake platter and put a dab of cream where you want to place your first biscuit.
• Dunk a biscuit in the coffee and then let excess coffee run of it.
• Place the biscuit side up and stand it in the cream dab you put on the plate.
• Dunk another biscuit in the coffee and then lather one side of it with cream, cement it sideways to the first biscuit you placed down.
• Continue in this fashion until you have created a rim of biscuits, or a long log, whatever you decided.
• Now cover the whole cake in the left over cream.
• All of the biscuits must be well smothered in cream, as the cream has to penetrate the biscuit and soften it.
• Place cake in fridge for at least 4 or 5 hours.
• Just before serving place crumbled flake on the top.
• You don't have to dunk the biscuits in the coffee if you don't want it to have a coffee flavour.
• It will still turn out fine.

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Take a cookie and dunk it quickly in sweet sherry (or smear it with jelly for children) if you wish-this helps speed up the cookies softening.
• spread the smooth side of the cookie thickly with cream and repeat.
• Sandwich the two you have done together and stand them on a plate.
• Repeat this until all the cookies are used and you have formed a"log" of cookies and cream.
• Cover the entire log thickly with more cream and cover loosely with cling wrap before refrigerating for about 8 hours-as I said, the sherry or jelly speeds this up (and I like the added flavour of either) Decorate with grated chocolate, or pipe extra cream around the log before serving.
