Chocolate Loaf Cake

Time for August Secret Recipe Club reveal!

This month I received Ellie's blog, The Hobo Kitchen.  Ellie is Hoboken (hence the The Hobo Kitchen) and has been a food blogger since 2008. I really enjoyed reading Ellie's blog and loved her Livin' The Life posts. Eliie also has tons of recipes that I wanted to try like Feta Avocado Dip, Beer and Pretzel Cupcakes, Beer Brownies all sounded amazing, but my winner was the Chocolate Loaf Cake. 

This loaf cake was fantastic and so easy to prepare. One thing that can turn me off from baking is lots of bowls.  This recipe uses two bowls and makes for easy clean up! I loved the addition of the sour cream because of made for a delicious, dense and addictive. My family loved this cake, and we enjoyed it for dessert with big glasses of cold milk. Isn't there something perfect about a slice of cake and a glass of milk?

I can't wait to make this bread again because it was gobbled up so quickly in our house! Thank you Ellie for an amazing recipe.  Check out the round-up below for other recipes from my fellow bloggers.
