The moistness and not-too-sweet taste, chocolatey but not too much…perfect balance.

I made this the other day, and used crème fraiche for the sour cream and blommers black cocoa for the cocoa powder. It turned out perfect, but I didn’t end up with a ganache like yours, and reading the comments it’s probably because I used a different percentage of chocolate.

You can use the chocolate chips and a whipping cream substitute like silk non-dairy whipping cream- will work well.

I recently saw and bought Silk brand, dairy-free heavy cream at the grocery store (Meijer). I have yet to try it. I’m sure it would work great!

The cake/loaf looks delicious to make!

Can I just use all AP flour instead?

Made these today and they are delicious! For my personal taste, I did find them a bit too sweet and would reduce the sugar in the future. Also wondering if there’s a trick for getting these out of the pan. I greased the pans well, but I had a heck of a time removing them without the tops completely breaking off. I’d probably use muffin liners next time to avoid that.
