Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
To prepare the chocolate, mix the sugars, cocoa, coffee, vanilla and oil, until crumbly.
To prepare the streusel, combine the flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Using your fingertips, break the margarine into the flour and sugar until fully coated and a crumbly texture is formed.
Place the eggs, sugar, and vanilla into the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat at medium-high speed 8 minutes, until the mixture is light and more then doubled in size.
Meanwhile, sift the flour and baking powder together. In a separate bowl, combine the oil and water.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the dry and wet ingredients, alternating, starting and ending with dry. Mix until just incorporated.
Divide the batter, between the 2 baking sheets.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the crumbly chocolate mixture on top of each baking sheet to add texture. Then add water to the remaining chocolate mixture, starting with a ¼ cup water, slowly adding more until the chocolate becomes smooth and a little runny.
Drizzle half the chocolate across the top of each baking sheet. Using a toothpick, swirl the chocolate into the batter to mimic the layers of kokosh cake.
Sprinkle half the streusel on top of each baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the white batter comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Note: These bars are a little softer then cookie style bars, for easier removal, cut the bars a little smaller than usual |
