• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 200 grams brown sugar

• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams dark chocolate
• 100 grams powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons water (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground cardamom.

Step 3

In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then gradually add it to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

On a floured surface, shape the dough into a log about 3 cm (1.2 inches) in diameter. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, then cut into 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) thick slices while still warm.

Step 9

In a saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat.

Step 10

Once melted, add the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of water, and lemon juice to create a smooth glaze.

Step 11

Dip each Magenbrot slice into the chocolate glaze and place them back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to set at room temperature before serving or storing in an airtight container.
