Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 2 teaspoon half-and-half cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×5 pan with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and white pepper. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape the edges of the bowl, then mix in egg. Add beer and mix for 30 seconds, just enough to break apart butter mixture into the beer.
- Slowly add dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients, mixing gently in between. When all dry ingredients have been added, mix until just combined, when dry ingredients are no longer visible.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips and walnuts, then pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a tester comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, Baileys, and cream.
- If you’d like the frosting to be thinner, add a small splash of baileys until desired consistency is reached. If you’d like the frosting to be thicker, add 1 tbsp powdered sugar at a time until frosting is thick enough.
- Once bread has cooled, drizzle Baileys glaze on top of bread.
- Bread can be stored in a sealed container and kept on the counter for up to 5 days.
