OMG!!! I'll really need to do more if i keep making these recipes,,, from the ingredients, this is going to be good. I'll post pics when I make it this weekend probably,,,, thank you toni,, the lemon bread was great!! This WILL get made too.
I will be baking this one Saturday for sure. I usually make bread on the weekends! This sounds great.
Toni, do you melt both butters to mix with the cocoa? This would be wonderful with a raspberry sauce.
Sharon sorry for the confusion, I amended the recipe to clear that up especially since I forgot to include that the softened butter was beaten together with the sugar, eggs, etc. Thanks for catching that I don't know about the raspberry sauce, I am probably one of the few people around who doesn't like raspberry
Thanks for clearing that up, now I will make sure I have everything I need because I am gonna try it out.
O.k. after putting the lemon bread into my recipe file this one for sure is going there also since I sooo enjoy chocolate. These both will have to get made soon.
