Amish Friendship Bread - Chocolate
Submitted by uninvited-guest on March 09, 2011 at 11:47 pm

A chocolate version of the Amish bread/cake. Tastes like a brownie.
Yield: 24 servings

1 1/2 cups Amish Starter
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 (5-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
2 - 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar, optional
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (bittersweet)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

You must check for doneness with a skewer or toothpick. Looks and touch are deceiving.

Preheat oven to 325* F. Generously grease and sugar pans. [1 bundt/tube, 2 large loaf, 3 small loaf, or 5 mini loaf]

In a large bowl, mix together starter, oil, milk, and eggs.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and chocolate pudding.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix thoroughly.

Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.

Distribute batter evenly in pan(s). Sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar, if desired.

Bake for 40 - 75 minutes, depending on pans used. Test for doneness with a skewer, which should come out clean. If top browns too fast, cover with a tent of aluminum foil.

Spread the word
