Equipment
- 1 Loaf pan
- 1 Small pot
Ingredients
Raspberry mixture
- 1 cup raspberries, frozen
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Loaf
- 1 ¾ cup flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder, sifted
- 2 tsp baking powder, sifted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp ground flax
- 5 Tbsp water
- ⅓ cup coffee, room temperature
- ¾ cup milk of choice I used soy
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup butter of choice, melted I used plant-based Becel
Glaze
- 1 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tsp coffee, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F
- Grease loaf pan and add parchment paper.
- Add raspberries, water and sugar to a small pot. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until raspberries have lost their shape, and it has thickened
- While raspberries are cooking, make your flax egg. Combine ground flax and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder.
- In a medium bowl, combine the coffee, milk, vanilla, flax egg and butter. Make sure you butter isn't too hot when you add it to your other wet ingredients.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients. Combine until all flour is just incorporated.
- Add about 1/4 of the batter to the loaf pan. Then add the raspberry mixture. Spread it out using an offset spatula or spoon. Doesn't have to be perfect, but you want it to be spread evenly. Then add the remaining batter on top of the raspberry layer.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
- While the loaf is baking, add all glaze ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Adjust to taste if needed.
- When your loaf is done, let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool almost completely. I like to add my glaze when it's still lightly warm, so it's easier to spread.
- Enjoy on it's own or with fresh raspberries!
