Ingredients
- Butter, for pans
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- Chocolate Butter, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour (2) 9 by 5-inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla at medium-low speed with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in the chocolate morsels and pecans. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Shield the bread with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with rich Chocolate Butter, if desired.
Chocolate Butter:
- Recipe courtesy Paula Deen (PD, pg. 100)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons hot fudge topping
In a small bowl, beat the butter and fudge topping at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Cover, and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

I thought this recipe was AWESOME!!!!!!!! I am a chocoholic and this bread was moist, chocolately, yummy and goes great w/a glass of milk or a cup of hot tea. I was short on the choc chips, but it did still come out really good. I made one loaf for me, and one for my bff who shares my love of the chocolate bean. I did notice that in my glass pan it "burned" a little on top, but in my metal one it came out perfectly fine. Next time I make it gonna add some caramel and make it a "turtle" loaf for my bff.
Did not care too much for the butter, I think it needs less butter and more fudge, but overall excellent, excellent recipe. May make this for my SS kids next week.

I thought this chocolate bread and butter were the two best things I have eaten all Christmas season! I wanted to devour the whole loaf. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us!

I followed the recipe exactily, no less and no more.
It turned out just ok, would not do it again, turned out moist but dry blah tasting like something was missing.
Will not do it again, throwing the recipe away.
I made the Chocolate Sauce as the recipe said, it was just ok, didn't knock my socks off, I'll come up with my own recipe that will put the one from the show to shame.
