With icy cold temperatures predicted for the weekend, it is the perfect time to observe World Chocolate Day, which is on Friday, 7 July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created from the cocoa bean, chocolate has given many options and tastes over the year. And what is even better is the way this delicious bean pairs so perfectly with another bean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCoffee and chocolate have been paired together for years, with different chocolates complementing different coffee tastes,\u201d explains Matthew Dees, senior brand manager for Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not only the pairing of chocolate while drinking coffee that sees these two flavours working together, but also when they are used in different culinary approaches to bring out various flavours in both food and drink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thokozane Radebe, brand manager for Douwe Egberts, adds that the growth of instant coffee over the past few years allows for this pairing to be used easily in the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to combining chocolate and instant coffee, there are a variety of culinary techniques that even a home chef can master for dinner time or when craving something quick and tasty on cold, lazy days:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Mocha is a classic combination of coffee and chocolate. By adding a spoonful of instant coffee to hot chocolate or chocolate milk, you can create a creamy and decadent mocha drink. The coffee enhances the chocolate\u2019s flavour and adds a subtle hint of bitterness, balancing the sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Instant coffee is incorporated into various chocolate-based desserts to intensify the chocolate experience \u2013 adding a small amount of instant coffee powder to a brownie recipe or brewed instant coffee to cake batters deepens the chocolate flavour. Instant coffee can also be dissolved in hot water and used as a coffee syrup to drizzle over chocolate desserts like ice cream, mousse, or pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Instant coffee can be combined with cocoa powder, spices, and herbs to create a flavourful coffee-chocolate rub for meats. This mixture can be used to season steaks, ribs, or roasts before grilling or roasting. The coffee imparts a smoky, slightly bitter note that complements the richness of the chocolate and enhances the savoury flavours of the meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Coffee-chocolate BBQ sauce is a new must-have addition to savoury dishes. Combine brewed instant coffee, cocoa powder, tomato sauce, brown sugar, spices, and a hint of chili for a bold and smoky sauce that pairs perfectly with grilled meats. The coffee adds depth and complexity to the chocolate, resulting in a barbecue experience like no other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The use of instant coffee when making homemade chocolate truffles can create a delightful combination of flavours. Simply dissolve instant coffee in a small amount of hot water and add it to melted chocolate along with other truffle ingredients like cream, butter, or liqueur. Roll the mixture into small balls and coat them in cocoa powder or melted chocolate for an indulgent treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe versatility of instant coffee together with the taste of chocolate can create different and enticing culinary creations, as the two flavours work together to bring a balanced, complementary sweet-bitter taste to different dishes,\u201d explains Dees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For indulgent ways to combine coffee and chocolate this winter, give the following recipes a try: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate cake with espresso<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 g soft butter, plus more for the cake tins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

275 g of sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 large eggs <\/p>\n\n\n\n

200 g of flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

75 g of cocoa powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 teaspoons of baking powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

125 ml brewed, cooled coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

125 ml milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the buttercream<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

125 g cold butter, diced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 g cocoa powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

125 g powdered sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 to 3 tablespoons milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good quality dark chocolate for garnishing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0 C. Grease the two 20 cm springform cake tins and cover the bottom with baking paper. Beat the butter and sugar with a whisk until frothy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing each egg thoroughly before adding the next one. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a second bowl. Stir in the cooled coffee, milk and vanilla essence in a third bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. While stirring, add the flour and the coffee mixture to the butter-egg mixture and mix everything into a smooth dough. Fill the dough into the two cake tins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Bake the cakes at 180\u00b0 C in the oven until golden brown, approximately 30-35 minutes. The cakes are ready when they spring back to light finger pressure and no more dough sticks to a stick, when placed into the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the cake tins for a few minutes, then remove and allow to cool on cooling trays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. For the butter cream, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the cocoa powder and simmer for 1-2 minutes stirring, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Add the powdered sugar to the cocoa butter and mix thoroughly. Stir in the milk one tablespoon at a time until a smooth, shiny mass has formed, allow to cool (it will thicken). Spread half of the buttercream on to one of the cakes. Put the other cake on top and spread the rest of the cream on to the second cake. Finally, use a peeler or grater to remove pieces from the chocolate. Garnish the cake with the chocolate shavings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms.
