This Double Chocolate Quick Bread recipe is so simple and easy to make, along with being super moist thanks to a hint of sour cream.
Rich and Decadent – Double Chocolate Quick Bread Recipe
Stand back store-bought loafs because this double chocolate quick bread recipe tops them all.
It has all of the foundations of a great quick bread. First, it’s quick to make and uses simple ingredients. Second, it is very moist, which allows the hints of Dutch cocoa to shine.

Why all the fuss about a quick bread? Perhaps it is because I love chocolate and cake and the two combined–well–it’s a chocoholic’s delight.
To make:
This recipe is basically a one-bowl, dump quick bread, which means very little cleaning on your part.
That’s pretty great, considering that if you need to whip up something to take to a book club, a potluck or even a bake sale, you can easily do this.
And, did I tell you that this loaf is great for freezing? It is.
Now there are a couple of “secret ingredients” that add to the layers of flavors of this Chocolate Quick Bread: Chambord and Godiva Chocolate liqueur. That being said, if you don’t have or don’t want to include these ingredients you can easily substitute it with a tablespoon of a good chocolate syrup.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

What can be used instead of Belgium Cocoa Powder? Have never heard of it. I only have Hershey’s 100% Cocoa natural unsweetened. thank you.
Any kind of unsweetened cocoa powder can be used in place of Belgium Cocoa Powder. This is just one type of one that is easily found wherever regular cocoa powder is sold. You’ll get great results either way. Enjoy!
Guess I can’t make this bread after all. Don’t have Godiva chocolate liquor , Framboise or Chambord (what ever those may be). Can’t afford those ingredients anyway. Still looks really good! Will have to try some of your other recipes.
The liquors suggested in my Double Chocolate Quick Bread recipe add an additional layer of flavor. If you are unable to find these liquors, you can still make this quick bread by omitting them and following the recipe using the rest of the ingredients. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
