It's a nice casual cake- good for breakfast or dessert. I'm not sure if the rye adds anything I would have to try it with only all-purpose flour to compare. I started checking at 40 minutes and it was done by 50 minutes- every oven is different and you don't want to overcook this. It came out very well! The cocoa nibs on top are really good and essential to make this special. I made this as written except added 2 TBS of oil to ensure moistness and 1 tsp of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. If I made it again I'd increase the sugar a bit, though. Maybe it was developed for those annoying chefs on "Chopped" who claim that they "don't like sweet desserts"? Anyway, served topped with powdered sugar and sweetened whipped cream, it was delicious. This is a beautiful cake with a wonderful texture and a deep chocolate flavor, but the amount of sugar called for is so low that it almost doesn't taste like a dessert. Nice texture (very moist) and flavor (not too sweet). Then we just started nibbling on the pieces as they cooked. This was WAY too big for my 9" cake pan, resulting in lots of pieces of crumble topping and bubbling batter on the bottom of my oven until I put a baking sheet underneath. ![]() I was eager to try this cake because I had all the ingredients.the bits we've tasted (and there are lots falling off) have been good. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Step 6ĭo ahead: Cake can be made 3 days ahead. ![]() Top the crumbs with the second half of the batter and smooth it out gently. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack before turning out. For the center cookie-stripe, sprinkle the fine crumbs over the batter in an even layer. Step 5īake, rotating once, until cake starts to pull away from sides of pan and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Combine flour, pecans, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt for crumb topping in a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and yogurt (this is a stiffer batter). Reduce speed to low and add half of dry ingredients followed by buttermilk, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down sides of bowl and add eggs and vanilla mix until blended, about 2 minutes. Using an electric mixer on mediumhigh speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Whisk all-purpose flour, rye flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Coat a 9"-diameter cake pan with nonstick spray and line with a parchment round. Step 2ĭo ahead: Crumble can be made 2 days ahead. Work in butter with your fingers to form large clumps.there should be no dry spots. Dust with icing sugar to serve.Whisk granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, rye flour, cacao nibs, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl until blended. Use a palette knife or metal fish slice to loosen the bottom of the cake from the base of the tin, then slide the palette knife or fish slice under the cake and carefully ease it onto a plate.Place the cake (sitting on the base of the tin) on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. ![]()
