Kouglof – Chocolate

Kouglof is a cake that is baked in a Kougof container. If they are baked in a rectangular container, the cake is called a “pound cake”. There are many types of Kouglof and its origin is in Alsace, France. I use rice powder instead of wheat flour to make it gluten-free.

This recipe uses chocolate. Chocolate can be milk, sweet, or bitter. Chocolate dough and plain dough are mixed only a few times so that the dough becomes marble-like.
