Rich chocolate, gooey frosting, and crispy coconut combine in this German Chocolate Loaf to create an irresistible cake-inspired recipe!
In my opinion, there’s just something so much more satisfying about eating a dense loaf over a fluffy, sugar-filled cake. The best part? It’s high in protein, dairy-free, and can be made gluten-free to meet the needs of all your loved ones! I used Nuzest USA Rich Chocolate Protein (code: thekellykathleen). I strongly recommend doing so as well to guarantee results, but any chocolate protein will probably be fine!
To make this recipe, start by preheating your oven and lining a loaf pan with parchment paper. Then, in a large bowl, combine all the wet ingredients before folding in the dry. Pour the mixture into your pan, and bake for about 40ish minutes.
While the bread is cooking, whisk together the frosting ingredient in a pot over low/medium heat. You might want to throw on a podcast or your favorite playlist, because this step takes a few minutes. Be patient, it’s worth it!
Then, when the bread has finished baking and is completely cooled. Spread the icing on top, and enjoy!
