Triple Chocolate Pecan Loaf

This triple chocolate pecan loaf is a rich and moist dessert, made with three types of chocolate, pecans, and is topped with a creamy white chocolate frosting. A chocolate lover's dream!

 Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9x5" loaf pan.

Melt semi-sweet chocolate in a large microwave safe bowl in the microwave, or over a double broiler. Set aside to cool slightly.

 In another large bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.

To the bowl with melted chocolate, add eggs, oil, buttermilk, coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix together.

Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined.

Add pecans and gently fold the pecans in. We don't want to overmix the batter here or the loaf will be dense.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf, comes out with a few moist crumbs.

When the loaf is cooled to room temperature, drizzle white chocolate over the loaf.  Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
