CHOCOLATE SWIRL RECIPES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, beating in one at a time.
• Sift over flour and baking powder and fold into butter mixture.
• Divide the mixture in half. Place one half in a separate bowl and mix in vanilla. Sift cocoa over other half of mixture and fold inches.
• Place alternate tablespoon of mixture into a baking paper-lined 20cm cake tin.
• Swirl the mixtures together with wooden skewer.
• Bake at 180 C for 35 - 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
• Cool cake a little. Turn out onto a cake rack and ice when cold.
• Icing: Melt butter and chocolate over a low heat, stir in icing sugar.
• Add water and mix to combine. Spread over cake when cool.
• If you wish to decorate the cake, use a potato peeler and peel white chocolate into curls and sprinkle over icing.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour to yeast.
• In a sauce pan heat and stir the milk, sugar, butter and salt until warm (120 to 130) and butter almost melts. Add to flour mixture; mix well. Add eggs.
• Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high for 3 minute.
• Using spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 min).
• Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll out both portions of dough separately to form two 14x10-inch rectangles.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of the Heath Bits. Sprinkle remaining over dough rectangles.
• Starting from short side, roll up each one. Seal seams and edges. Line a baking sheet with foil, grease the foil. Transfer loaves to prepared baking sheet. Cover let rise until nearly double (25 to 30 min.).
• Bake at 375 for about 20 minute or until done. Remove to wire racks to cool.
• For icing; combine powdered sugar, water and vanilla. Spread over cooled loaves and sprinkle with reserved Heath Bits.
