My husband and I both enjoy cooking, but the baking is left to me. Our sons loved this chocolaty quick bread when they were little...and still do as grownups!Melissa Mitchell-Wilson, Wichita, Kansas Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
1/3 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add buttermilk; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
