Here's another much raved about chocolate quick bread from the oldBC:
-

1/2 cup softened margarine or butter
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped nuts
-
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of a 8 x 4 or 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. In mixing bowl, combine sugar and butter; blend well. Add eggs; beat well. Stir in buttermilk.
-
2. Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour into prepared pan.
-
3. Bake at 350 for 55 to 65 minutes or until cake tester in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled. Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator.
-
Yield: 1 (12-slice) loaf
-
A variation from your friendly Doughboy: Feel like making it special? Diehard chocoholics can sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the loaf before baking. The sweet, melted chips add another dimension of chocolate.

Another way is to select the category you want to post in from the list in the right hand column (below the list of new recipes), then follow Sarah's instructions.
