Ingredients
- 12 oz dark beer (like peanut butter porter)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 3/4 cups self rising flour (or, 2 3/4 cups flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Chocolate chips? Garnish with pretzel bits?
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan and cut a piece of parchment to create a sling left to right side of the pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together beer, sugar, and melted butter. Switch to a spatula and mix in flour, cocoa powder, and salt and stir to combine.
- Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Bake loaf at 350F for 60 mins and the center toothpicks clean. During that time the bread will rise, and develop a crust on the outside. Remove from pan with that handy parchment sling while still hot and cool completely (ideally on a wire rack) before slicing and serving.
