    List of Ingredients




    2 envelopes (1/4-ounce each) Active Dry Yeast
    1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/2 teaspoon
    3/4 up warm water (105° to 115°)
    1 stick butter, melted
    1/2 cup warm milk (110°)
    1/2 cup unsweetened Cocoa Powder, firmly packed
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 eggs,lightly beaten
    5 to 5-1/2 cups flour

    APPLE FILLING
    3 tablespoons butter
    2 green apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1/2 cup chopped pecans
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup packed unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 cup golden raisins
    6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

    Recipe



    APPLE FILLING: In a medium skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add apples and pecans and cook, stirring constantly, over high heat 2 mins. Remove from heat and let cool.

    When cool, mix in brown sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, raisins, and chocolate.

    CAKE: Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar over warm water in a glass measure; stir and set aside.

    In a large bowl, combine butter, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa, salt, and eggs. Beat with electric mixer on low speed. Add 3 cups flour and beat well. Beat in yeast mixture until well mixed. (If your mixer has a dough hook, remove beater and attach dough hook; add remaining 2 to 2-1/2 cups flour to make a soft dough. Knead on medium high speed 5 to 7 minutes.) If you do not have dough hook, remove dough to a lightly floured surface and knead in remaing flour by hand. Continue kneading about 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

    Punch down dough. On a lightly floured pastry cloth or board, roll out dough to a 14 x 20-inch rectangle. Spread with Apple Filling to within 1-inch of edges. Starting from one long side, roll up tightly jelly roll fashion, piching seam and ends to seal. Place in a lightly greased 10-inch tube pan and pinch ends together to seal. Let rise until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

    About 15 minutes before rising has been completed, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 1 hour, or until golden brown. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
