Chocolate Beer Bread

  • Author: Audrey

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
