Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup baking cocoa
  • ¼ cup instant coffee granules
  • 1¼ cups sour cream
  • 2 large eggs

  • 4 tbsp hot fudge sauce (optional topping)
  • 1 crushed candy cane (optional garnish)
  • Non-stick spray for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, sugar, cocoa powder, and coffee granules.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the peppermint chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with hot fudge and sprinkle with crushed candy canes if desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter. This bread freezes beautifully.
