CHOCOLATE BREAD: version 2.0



SO, like I was saying, the wife expressed interest in chocolate bread with chocolate chips and I was into trying that...attempt one was a tasty non-sweet yeast bread posted here yesterday.  TODAY we go with MOIST and SWEET and FUDGY....
I love this recipe yumyumyumYUM!  So rich, not vegan with the eggs (but I bake with eggs from time to time) and learned a lot from it.  It adds apple sauce, for example.  It is, as I have said, the wife's birthday this week and so I decorated with...hearts!
Two notes:  my pal Knight mentions this is a popular cafe snack, and this recipe is even more rich than I am using here (hard to believe!) but does not have chocolate chips (oh no!) but it reminds me that basically we are talking about chocolate pound cake here.  I have a terrific vegan pound cake recipe I make with soy etc. rather than eggs etc....no reason I could not make that with chocolate, right?

    Looks totally delicious! Your wife is one lucky gal. If I want cake (or bread, or anything really), for my birthday, I have to bake it myself. Boo hoo. <---says the spoiled, stay-at-home mom, whose husband would do anything (but bake) for her. ;) Happy Friday and happy birthday to your lovely wife!

    Sweet in thought and deed.

    Is it Spike's birthday too? He seems to think so.

    This version sounds better than a yeast bread. Sort of like a giant chocolate chip brownie loaf.

    That's the most romantic bread I've ever seen.

    YUM! I've made chocolate banana bread but I love the idea of just going all out chocolate with chocolate chips. Happy birthday to your lovely wife!

    PS. the teapot in your header made me laugh out loud. :)
