Notes
VariationsVariations of this loaf cake can be accomplished with different types of chocolate, with glazed fruit (to make it a fruit cake), or with additional spices. I use dried and grounded vanilla in this recipe. This "Vanilla Powder" I always have at home because I sweeten my morning porridge, rice pudding, or golden millet porridge with it. But what fits especially great to this loaf cake are Christmas spices or spice blends.
