Very tasty. I've been looking for a good, chocolate, loaf cake and I'll be making it again. But I think there is an error somehow. I know my loaf pan is of the smaller size so I cut the recipe a touch and still it overflowed out of the pan. Perhaps it was really meant for 2 loaves? Or for an 8" square pan?

it was OK, but I would do it as a snack cake (with a nice glaze) rather than a loaf...it's very cakey and not nearly dense enough for a quick bread/loaf and falls apart when cut, while warm...I would also recommend adding some coffee or some orange zest or something, to try and bring out a stronger chocolate flavor...in it's present incarnation, the chocolate flavor of it is blah/boring...sorry
