No sweet tooth can resist chocolate Easter cake. In the Easter cake recipe with chocolate, the taste of cocoa beans is felt literally in everything: in the dough, in the filling, in the glaze, in the sprinkles. Chocolate dessert can be diversified with nuts and berries. But if you stick to the sweet approach in everything, all that remains is to pour hot chocolate into a cup and fully enjoy your favorite taste. Fans of dark chocolate can make glaze from a black bar. Milk chocolate will give a softer and more delicate taste.

How to cook Chocolate Easter cake

Step 1

Knead the dough. Heat the milk slightly in a bowl, dissolve the yeast in it. Melt the butter in a microwave or in a water bath. Beat the eggs into a foam together with the sugar. Pour the melted butter into the yeast, add the beaten eggs. Mix everything, cover with a towel and let stand for 60 minutes on the table. Mix the cocoa and flour, add to the dough. Knead the dough, adding raisins and 50 g of chocolate drops.

Step 2

Bake the Easter cake. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease the baking pan with butter. Fill the pan with dough to 1/3 of its volume. Leave it to rise for 60-90 minutes. Bake the Easter cake in the oven for 30 minutes. Check for readiness with a wooden skewer. When piercing the Easter cake, the stick should remain dry.

Step 3

Decorate the cake with chocolate. Melt 50 g of chocolate drops in a water bath or in the microwave. Spread the glaze on the top of the cake.
