Chocolate Paan Boakibaa ( chocolate bread cake)

 Pann boakibaa is the Maldivian version of bread pudding although it is more like a cake than a pudding. I love the original paan boakibaa but while working for easy recipes I thought about what I can do to elevate this beloved dish. So I made a chocolate version of it. My eldest .who doesn't like paan boakibaa actually loved it, well he does like everything that's chocolate. So have a go and let me know what you think of it.

Chocolate Paan boakibaa ( chocolate bread cake)

Ingredients:

• 6 slices sandwich bread ( if small slices, 8 slices), preferably old bread.
• 1 can condensed milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• Half a can of water
• 2 large eggs or 3 if small
• 4 level tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
• 1 capful vanilla essence, roughly 1 tsp

Instructions:

1. Beat the sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl till well mixed. Add condensed milk water and vanilla essence. Stir in cocoa powder.
2. Place the bread in a food processor and pulse it into crumbs. ( if you don’t have any processor use your fingers to break it down into small pieces.
3. Add the breadcrumbs into the bowl containing the egg mixture. Stir to combine. Leave to soak for half an hour or more.
4. Preheat oven to 200 Degrees C. Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with butter or margarine.
5. Pour the breadcrumb batter into the tray and bake in the middle of the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes, till the cake is set and a skewer comes out clean.
6. If the cake tends to puff up and crack, open the oven door for a few seconds and then close. This is happening because the oven is getting too hot.
7. Remove the cake from the oven once it's done and cool in the tin. Cut into squares once it is cooled completely.
