Chocolate Bread with Hot Fudge Butter

A former teacher shared this recipe a few weeks ago and my mouth watered all week waiting until I had time to bake. It was SO well worth the wait. So thank you to the JET's Coach for sharing this recipe. Tell me this doesn't look delish!!

Chocolate Bread with Hot Fudge Butter
The Line Up

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (optional)
1/2 cup butter, softened (That's one whole stick)
2 tablespoons hot fudge topping

The Game Plan

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.  Beat in the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla at medium low speed with an electric mixer until combined.  Beat in the chocolate morsels and pecans.  Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pans.  Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. 

In a small bowl, beat the butter and fudge topping at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.

Cool bread before spreading with the butter.

Coach's Post Game Conference
Not sure what I can say about this recipe. It is definitely a hit with the sweets eating team-mates in our clubhouse!

The All Star says "Make sure you lick the batter"

(and as Coach I must say "Unless you're one of those that is concerned about salmonella and the likes")

Final Score
Coach - Home Run
The All Star - Home Run - I think he ate 3/4 of a loaf on his own!!
