Instructions

Triple Chocolate Pecan Loaf

  • 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. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then remove the loaf from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

White Chocolate Frosting

  • When the loaf is cooled to room temperature, melt white chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl in the microwave or over a double broiler.
  • Drizzle white chocolate over the loaf using a piping bag, a Ziplock bag with the corner cut off, or just use a spoon to pour it on to the loaf.
  • Store loaf in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
