Some of you may be thinking, It's starting to get a little to hot for hot cocoa, don't you think? Well, that is the beauty of Cook'n. You can capture the recipe now and use it later. No problem. I just couldn't pass up trying this! (and even though it was a warm day, it was so yummy!)

You bake it in a loaf pan but I'd say it's really more like a dense, gooey cake. The only problem with mine was that the marshmallows melted into the bread. Not that that was a bad thing, there were just parts that were extra moist (It was a great thing, actually). It might have been the brand I used, I don't know. Maybe it would be good to try hardened marshmallows. They may not melt as easily.

Hot Cocoa Bread

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups baking cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup miniature marshmallow


Directions:

Combine cream cheese, butter, and sugar. Cream with a mixer. Add egg and vanilla. Mix again. Add the cocoa powder and about 1/2 cup of the buttermilk; mix well. Add all the remaining ingredients (except the marshmallows) and stir to combine. Stir in the marshmallows.

(If you don't have mini marshmallows, you can cut up big marshmallows.) Spoon into a greased loaf pan. This makes a large loaf - use your largest loaf pan.
