Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened chocolate instead of cocoa, and adjust the sugar accordingly. You can substitute half of the Crisco or butter with applesauce for a lighter option. If you're out of self-rising flour, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
Serving Suggestions
This sweet bread is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. Consider serving it alongside a fresh Cherries And Nuts Salad for a refreshing contrast. You can also toast slices and spread some butter or cream cheese for added richness, making it a perfect choice for brunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every cup of flour used. This will help achieve the same rise and texture in your sweet bread.
What can I use if I don't have walnuts?
If walnuts aren’t available or if you have a nut allergy, you can substitute them with chocolate chips, dried fruits, or seeds like sunflower seeds. This will still add texture and flavor to the bread while catering to your dietary needs.
How can I tell when the bread is done baking?
The best way to check for doneness is to insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s done. If the toothpick has wet batter on it, bake for an additional 5 minutes, then check again.
