How To Make adult fudge bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl mix softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time to incorporate. Then add molasses and vanilla.
  • Step 2
    Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add slowly to liquid mixture until combined. Pour into greased and floured bread pan. (I like to cut a piece of wax paper and put in pan before flouring - then in grease it and flour the entire thing. This really helps when you remove it from the pan)
  • Step 3
    Bake for 30 to 45 minutes until done. Test with a toothpick. Once done remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Once cooled place back into pan and pour 1/8 cup jack daniels and place in fridge overnight to soak.
  • Step 4
    Remove bread and transfer to serving platter. For the glaze: mix powder sugar and cocoa. Then add jack daniels, vanilla and milk to create a glaze then pour over the bread. Let glaze set before slicing to serve.
