Title: Bernie's Pain Rapide Au Chocolat
Categories: Breads, Chocolate, Citrus, Booze
Yield: 1 Servings
4 oz Unsweetened chocolate -OR-
12 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c Butter
4 lg Eggs
2/3 c Honey
2 c Mashed potatoes
1/2 c Brandy or rum
2 ts Vanilla extract
2 ts Orange zest
2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
4 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave and mix together.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they start to get frothy. Add
honey, mashed potatoes, the alcohol and/or juice, vanilla extra,
and orange zest. Stir in the chocolate-butter mixture.
In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir 2 cups of it into the wet mixture. The mixture should be a
heavy batter. If it is still fairly thin, add the rest of the flour
mixture to it and stir until everything is moistened.
Pour the batter into greased baking pans (I baked it in three small
7x3" loaf pans).
Bake at 350 F/175 C on the middle shelf of the oven until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. In my small loaf
pans it took about 40 minutes. In a full-sized pan it will take
closer to 1 hour.
That's it. It is very good, not too sweet, quite moist and rich
(but not too rich). Very much the type of thing to munch with a
strong cup of coffee. It tastes much more adult than a kid's
chocolate cupcake, particularly if you use good chocolate.
That won't keep your kids from trying to eat it though.
