Buttermilk Chocolate Bread

Sharon, this bread is wonderful, tasty and moist. I used pecans in this bread. I really liked the buttermilk, which did make the bread moist. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. I will definately use this one again.

Very nice. Has a great consistnacy, and not too sweet. I enjoyed th 'bread' feel, instead of a cake.

I halved the butter, used one egg, and added a half cup of apple sauce. It rose beautifully and came out very moist. This chocolate bread has just the right amount of sweetness. Thanks for sharing!

Good, basic chocolate bread. I added ground hazelnuts and a big dollop of Nutella to the batter. Versatile, you could use a lot of add ins or keep it plain.

Very nice loaf of chocolate bread, though definitely not overly sweet. It took 65 minutes to bake for me, but was still nice and moist. Thanks for a lovely recipe :)

Made this today for a little something special. It is such a wonderful quick bread. It forms a delightful crisp crust and it is light and moist inside. Best of all it is not overly sweet. I used Dutch cocoa powder, and toasted slivered almonds. I will try toasted pecans next time I make this. Thanks for sharing this recipe Sharon. It was definitely enjoyed by all. Made and reviewed for the Best of 2010 Recipe Tag Game.

Delicious recipe. I added semi-sweet chocolate chips to the recipe and it smelled so delicious, we could barely wait for it to cool before eating it. I made it a second time in a bundt pan by doubling the batch and now they're asking for the recipe. Mahalo for sharing Sharon123!

Amazing!!! I followed Raichka's (June 26 2010) recommendation and halved the butter, used one egg and added 1/2 cup apple sauce. I also omitted the nuts - family preference. These changes reduced the calories to 185 cal per serving. The flavour and texture was just fantastic and I am sure this loaf won't survive long. I will be making this lots! Made for your Cook A Thon (PS - the kids friends just came asking for seconds.....)

Simple and oh, so delicious, if not that healthy for you. I needed to use up some buttermilk, and this was a quick and delicious recipe. I didn't use nuts in the recipe, and when I made a second loaf, I sifted the dry ingredients before adding them to the wet because the cocoa especially liked to clump. The bread is moderately dense, enough to stay in slices, but tender enough to nibble daintily.

I made this bread today. It is fantastic, Sharon123! It rose up so nicely and came out of the loaf pan perfectly. My husband loved it, too. I'll definitely make this recipe again. It goes perfectly with a cup of hot coffee. I never would have thought of chocolate bread--thank you!

It has a wondeful taste and texture. But, when I removed it from the pan after the 10 minutes my bottom didn't want to come. It may have been my fault. But, either way, I'll make it again.

I wanted to make this to try out my homemade Buttermilk. I added some cranberries and baked it like squares. It is still in the oven but I know it's going to be great. You can tell by how nice and creamy the batter turned out. Thanks so much!

Excellent recipe! I made some modifications to lighten the loaf a little. I used strained prunes (baby food) in place of the butter and used 1/2 sugar, 1/2 splenda (and then added about 3 tbsp or mini chocolate chips!). I think I baked it a little too long because the bottom was a little tough, but the flavour is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Here is my story & I am sticking to it cuz it is true. Haste was a factor when I made this bread. It was made on impulse when I wanted something choc & sweet, but not overly so. I glanced at the recipe, saw I was missing the nuts & decided to make it w/o them. I prepared the wet + dry ingredients & then chastised myself for having forgotten the banana. Why? you might ask & the honest answer is I thot I was making choc banana bread! Since all else was ready to go, I added my 3 bananas & made 3 mini loaves of some damn fine choc banana bread. Thx for sharing your recipe w/us. This success story never would have happened w/o it & next time I'll be sure to have the nuts on hand .. along w/the bananas. Yum! :-)

Very good recipe, was quite tastey. Came out a little dry for me but was still good enough for us to eat it all down :) I used chocolate chips instead of nuts (no one in the house is a fan of nuts) and it really gave it an extra chocolate kick! Thanks for the post.

Beautiful, chocolatey, and moist. used butter flavored crisco, not as much fat. It rose to a beautiful loaf. I used slivered almonds, chopped almost to a mince. Vinegar in 2% milk is my staple buttermilk. I did add a little more baking powder, I wanted it to rise a little more and we are high altitude. Thanks for posting.

I am 42 & have been cooking since I was 5 & could stand in a chair to cook, but boy I made a monkey-mess outta this!! The only thng I didn't do was set the kitchen on fire. I didn't have buttermilk so I used powdered milk from the fridge & vinegar & followed the rest of the recipe as written & added 1 tsp vanilla. I used my reg sized loaf pan, but it started over-flowing so I put a tray under to catch the spill. It was a litte dry, but the taste was fine, although I will add choc chips next time for a stronger chocolate flavor. It has more of a cake texture, but mine falls into fine crumbs. One good thing came from it spilling, the batter cooked to a crunchier texture than the loaf & I really liked it better than the bread. I will use the batter to make drop cookies next time. Very versatile, thanks for posting. I also wanted to say that I really appreciate the time everyone takes to review the recipes & how you altered the recipe & how it turned out. I've gotten many great ideas from everyone's input.

This is good! Not too sweet but a tad dry as others have mentioned. I will play around with the cooking time. I did not add nuts but wish I had added chips and an extract of some sort. I was thinking almond when I made this batch but decided against it. Vanilla would add depth as well.

This is so delicious! Like a "brownie muffin bread". I borrowed from other reviewers, subbing half the butter with applesauce, adding 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract, using pistachios, plus adding some chocolate chips. We don't like things too sweet, so this was perfect for us. If you like things sweeter, you might want to increase the sugar by 1/4 cup. This definitely is not dry, and does not need any butter spread on it! This makes a large loaf, and did need about an hour for the baking time in (our newish) oven. This hit the spot perfectly!!
