Wonderful! So moist! Taste like chocolate cake. My family asks for this often.

This bread is really great. It was a big hit with my husband. We especially liked the hint of cinnamon in the chocolate, just a bit of a twist on what yo were expecting. I substituted applesauce for the oil and it worked just fine.
