Dark Chocolate Loaf Cake

July 14, 2015 by Jodie 1 Comment

Dark Chocolate Loaf Cake

I’ve told you of my recent obsession with dark chocolate. Well, it is still going strong.

This dark chocolate loaf cake came out way better than I even hoped it would. I tried a couple different recipes to get exactly what I had been craving (sometimes those weird pregnancy cravings that need to be exactly fulfilled turn out to be a good thing for you). And this was it! Super chocolatey, moist and not too sweet.

Even better was the fact that it only took dirtying one bowl! For a cake! You’ve got to love that! I know that I do.

Anything that makes my life more simple and less mess to clean up is a fantastic thing to me. Especially now that we have, once again, a tiny kitchen.

If you love dark chocolate, whip up this taste dark chocolate loaf cake.  Top with your favorite berries and homemade whipped cream and you’ll have a treat you can’t say no to!
