Barry's splendiferous chocolate dessert bread
12 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Betty Crocker Super Moist |
| Double Chocolate cake mix | ||
| 1 | cup | All purpose flour |
| 1 | cup | White bread flour |
| ½ | cup | Whole wheat bread flour |
| 3 | tablespoons | Gluten flour |
| 2 | tablespoons | Sugar |
| 2 | tablespoons | Oil |
| 1 | tablespoon | Swirl powder * |
| 2 | teaspoons | Yeast |
| 1 | large | Egg |
| ¼ | cup | Liquid (half chocolate syru |
| And half water) | ||
| 1 | cup | Water |
| 11 | ounces | Mandarin oranges diced |
| ⅓ | cup | Chopped walnuts or almonds |
| ⅔ | cup | Chocolate chips ** |
| ½ | cup | Coconuts (shreaded) |
| ⅓ | cup | Maraschino cherries (diced |
| Or quartered) | ||
Directions
* Swirl powder comes in a separate envelope with the cake mix. ** Use semi-sweet chips
Adjust the amounts of fruit, nuts, and chips to suit.
Pat oranges and cherries dry between double layers of paper towels. Add fruits, nuts, and chips, at the beep or near the very end of the second kneading.
Variations: Add more fruit. Use some juice from the oranges in place of water portion of liquid.
Serve plain as a snack or dessert, or, add your favorite topping for added enjoyment. HINT: Cut into extra thick slices.
Barry's Notes: I do find, now, that the chocolate syrup adds a bit of creaminess that the plain recipe lacks. The bread is cut into double thick slices. I've then been cutting each slice in half and either frosting them or placing a plain slice on a dish with (home made) ice cream.
