Provided by Jamallah Bergman

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 c chocolate chips
1 c fresh or frozen cranberries,coarsely chopped
1/2 c chopped pecans
2 tsp grated orange peel
2 c flour
1 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp shortening,softened
3/4 c orange juice, fresh
1 egg,lightly beaten
cocoa drizzle glaze
COCOA DRIZZLE GLAZE
1 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp water
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease and flour three 3x5 miniature loaf pans. In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips,cranberries,chopped pecans and grated orange peel and set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine flour,sugar,baking powder,baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender,cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in orange juice,egg and chocolate chips mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • 3. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake in oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack. If desired, top Cocoa Drizzle Glaze.
  • 4. FOR COCOA GLAZE: In a small microwave safe bowl, place butter. Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until butter is melted. Stir in cocoa powder and water.Microwave for an additional 15 to 30 seconds, until mixture is slightly thickened. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, stirring constantly until glaze is smooth. If glaze is too thick, add a few drops of water. Drizzle over Cherry Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bread.

Tips:

  • Soften butter to room temperature: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar, resulting in a smoother, more consistent batter.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda: These ingredients help the bread rise properly, so using old or expired ones can result in a dense, flat loaf.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the bread. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate and contain a high percentage of cocoa.
  • Cherries: You can use fresh or frozen cherries for this recipe. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the bread to rise more evenly and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chip cherry bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, chocolatey flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special bread to bake, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
