Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup chopped pecans
½ cup margarine
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped pecans
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F). Grease only the bottom of a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the buttermilk. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the buttermilk mixture until moistened. Mix in 1/3 cup pecans. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes in the preheated oven, until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Combine the margarine, 1/4 cup cocoa, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and mix in the vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Spread on top of the cooled loaf.

I'm allergic to chocolate, but I bet this bread would be just as good with white chocolate chips.

I've been looking for a chocolate buttermilk bread recipe that doesn't use cocoa powder. This one is perfect! The bread is rich and chocolatey, and the buttermilk gives it a lovely tang.
