Tuesdays With Dorie: Cocoa-Nana Bread
Some recipes sound so promising on paper, but fall flat in the execution. Others surpass even your greatest expectations. I'm afraid this week's Tuesdays With Dorie pick, Cocoa-Nana Bread, chosen by Steph of Obsessed With Baking, belongs to the former group.
Cocoa-Nana Bread. What's not to like? A rich batter strongly flavoured by cocoa powder. Semi-sweet chocolate chips added to the mixture to intensify the chocolate taste. And, of course, bananas: two of them, in fact.
The end result, though, was nothing spectacular. Not bad - just not as good as I was expecting. I couldn't taste the banana, leaving me with a run-of-the-mill (and rather dry) plain chocolate cake. Unfortunately, this isn't one I'd make again, although I appreciate the concept.
Thanks to Steph for this choice, and if you're interested in trying it out, click here for the recipe.

I enjoyed the recipe but I agree, I probably won't be making the recipe again.
Your bread looks great though!
Sorry this wasnt a winner for you. I really loved this one...but it sounds like it got some mixed reviews from others. Oh well...you can't love em all!
Aw, so sad. It looks and sounds so killer!
Mine was kinda dry, too, unfortunately. I saw someone else subbed yogurt for the bananas, and I was thinking this would have been great to do bananas and yogurt. Maybe next time...maybe...
But I love the way your loaf looks. Very nice!
I won't be making it again but I enjoyed it too! NICe bread.
I'm with you. While it looked great in photos, such as yours, it fell flat when it came to taste.
I'm sorry yours turned out dry. The crumb looks really nice and dense though. Thanks for baking along with me!
This is very interesting information here. I wish I had found this first before I signed up for the other one. This is much better!
