After searching the net with no results, I'm hoping that someone in here can help me. I'm looking to make a pumpkin loaf (or muffins) that has a thick chocolate swirl running through it. Peet's coffee has this as one of their pastry selections at their retail stores here in Los Angeles. It's a thick slice of pumpkin loaf and there is this wonderful, wide ribbon of chocolate batter layered within. Since I am too calorie-conscious to usually buy coffee shop pastries, and all I needed was the idea, I decided to try it on my own.
The pumpkin bread isn't so much the challenge.. it's the marbled chocolate ribbon. I'm not sure how to create this for a loaf cake. I want to use powdered cocoa, since I recently discovered the very real and amazing difference that using Dutch Process cocoa makes compared to regular cocoa and I'm excited to try it with different things.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
