Ingredients:
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter (optional, for greasing the pans)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix, eggs, water, flour, and granulated sugar. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This will ensure a rich and even texture in your loaf.
-
-
Prepare the Pans: Grease two loaf pans with butter or non-stick cooking spray. This step is essential to prevent the loaves from sticking and to make sure they come out easily after baking.
-
Pour and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the two greased loaf pans. Place the pans in a preheated oven set to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Bake for approximately 40 minutes. To check if the loaves are done, insert a toothpick into the center of each loaf; if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, your loaves are ready.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the loaves sliced and served as they are, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat.
