COCOA RIPPLE RING BUNDT CAKE
Steps:
- In a bowl, blend together dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Next, alternate mixing the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter/sugar/eggs mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine cocoa and sugar for the cocoa ring. Generously grease a 2-3 quart bundt pan. Add 1/3 of the batter to the pan, then sprinkle 1/2 of the cocoa ring mixture on top of the batter, and then add another third of the batter, followed by the last of the cocoa mixture, and lastly the rest of the batter.
- Be sure to keep the cocoa mixture away from the sides of the pan, otherwise it might cause the cake to tear when removing it from the pan.
- Bake approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Depending on your personal oven, the bake time may be shorter or longer. Serve the cake plain, with powdered sugar sprinkled on top, or choose to drizzle chocolate sauce over the top.

COCOA RIPPLE RING
A lovely little tea cake/bread, not overly sweet, also good for breakfast or brunch. It comes from an old cookbook which fell apart and all I have is the rather stained page from the book, which will now join its fellows.

Steps:
- In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add cocoa, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the shortening, salt, egg and 1 cup of the flour. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape dough from side of bowl. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double in size.
- Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray. In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the pecans. Stir down dough by beating about 25 strokes.

Tips:
- To achieve a smooth and creamy ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate and heavy cream. Chop the chocolate finely to ensure it melts evenly.
- When making the cocoa sponge cake, whisk the eggs and sugar until they are thick and pale. This will help create a light and airy cake.
- To prevent the ring from sticking to the cake pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly. You can also use baking spray.
- Bake the cake for the exact amount of time specified in the recipe. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before assembling the ring. This will help prevent the ganache from sliding off the cake.
- When pouring the ganache into the ring, make sure it is evenly distributed. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to help you.
- Chill the ring for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the ganache to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
The cocoa ripple ring is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy ganache, and light and airy sponge cake, this ring is sure to impress your guests. The recipe is easy to follow and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So, next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give the cocoa ripple ring a try!
