Light Double Chocolate Loaf Cake filled with chunks of dark chocolate and topped with a rich chocolate ganache.
I actually know some people who don't like chocolate and that's okay, but double chocolate loaf cake? We all have our likes and dislikes. I don't like lettuce and tomato on my burgers, they take up too much real estate that could be used for bacon or onion rings. But chocolate, I do like a piece now and again and again...and again. Valentine's day was good to me, but it's all gone. Did I really eat a pound and a half of See's Candies? What the hell was I thinking? But they're so good and there's a store less than a mile from my house. Give me mercy o' great god's of chocolate. So now that my stash is gone, I had to make something for myself. And after trying the double chocolate loaf cake from Starbucks, I knew I could recreate one just as good...actually a teeny bit better. This Double Chocolate loaf Cake is studded with chocolate chunks all through the batter and flooded with a thick chocolate ganache on top. More chopped chocolate chunks are scattered on top.
This is a serious chocolate smack in the face. Will it be as popular as my recent Blood orange Loaf Cake? Only time will tell, but both of them are knock-out. I think you should make both of them, separate days for sure or you might not get off the couch. Easter is just around the corner and that means even more chocolate. Cadbury's Creme Egg's are appearing at every check-stand I end up standing at and man, I love those things. As a kid I'd bite the top off and use a spoon to scoop out the "yolk". Seems like a lot of work, just make some loaf cake and be done already. Have a great weekend people, full of chocolate!
