This Easy and Super Moist Sour Cream Chocolate Bread reminds me of a cakey type brownie. I could just eat this forever and a day!
Sour Cream Chocolate Bread
But if I ate this chocolaty sweetness as much as I wanted too, I am sure my thighs and belly would really hate me…
I’m going back to school folks…. As my start date draws near, my to do list seems to steadily grow. Yikes! So as my nerves get the best of me, I am craving something sweet and as always it’s chocolate. So I made my favorite sour cream chocolate bread that is incredibly moist. And of course this bread is so moist because of that sour cream, a good butter, and buttermilk!
I thought about attempting to make this with greek yogurt, and coconut oil so that I could share a more healthy alternative. But…… I decided not to. Nope! Sour cream is healthy enough for me right now, let’s add that good quality butter instead. Disclaimer – I did use organic flour, and pure cane sugar… Does that count?? 🙂
Ok I have to log off and get some certifications together before school starts! Let me know how you like the recipe in the comments. xo

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients to help your ingredients blend together better. It also helps the ingredients to trap air which will make the baked goods nice and fluffy.
To keep your bread moist make sure to keep the bread stored in a covered container.

Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to the Savory Spicerack! In my kitchen, there is no such thing as a bland meal. Each of my creations are just the way food should be – packed with flavor and created with love. 
I made this yesterday, late afternoon. It’s delicious! I had bought sour cream for another recipe, which I can’t remember now what it is. I had a hankering for chocolate bread and remembered years ago when a neighbor, a retired home-ec teacher, tossed ingredients together and made sour cream chocolate bread I’m not nearly as good as she was, I need a recipe! Yours was darn near as close as I’ve ever come! She had cinnamon in hers, so I added a spice mix I had. It has cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, allspice, ginger and cloves. I also added chocolate chips to the bread, not just the top, because I’m a fiend when it comes to chocolate! About 3/4 of a cup. My oven! It’s only 5 yrs old, but I’m looking for new. It’s baking way too hot. Turning it down, it gon way, way down! It’s the craziest thing. To have it serviced, I could buy new! It was a trick, baking this bread…but it came out beautifully! I had 4 different temps throughout 54 minutes, but it worked…ha Loving your recipes! Thank you!
That texture is absolutely perfect. Just the way I like my chocolate bread to be!
