Servings 12 people

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 Cups AP Flour (200 g / 7 oz)
  • 1 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking soda
  • 1-2 teaspoons Cinnamon (adjust according to taste)
  • 1 1/4 Cup (250g) Light brown sugar
  • 1/2 Cup (85g) Mini chocolate chip
  • 1/2 Cup (100g) Chopped Hazelnut
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 Cup (180g) Sour cream
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable oil (120 ml / 4 oz)

Cinnamon Glaze

  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 Cup Powdered sugar (170 g / 6 oz)
  • 2 TBS Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9”x3” loaf pan with parchment paper and grease the exposed parts.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl and mix to blend. Mix in chocolate chips, and chopped hazelnuts.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sugars, vegetable oil, sour cream, and eggs and whisk until smooth. Set the bowl aside for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Mix the dry mixture over the wet mixture and mix just until the flour is hydrated. Lumps are ok.
  • Transfer the batter into the greased pan and bake over the medium oven rack for 45-50 minutes. Or until the bread is puffy, golden brown and a tooth pick comes out of the center with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the pan and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before inverting and serving.
  • When ready to serve mix the powdered sugar with the cinnamon, mix in the milk until smooth. Drizzle over the bread and serve.

Notes

  • Store at room temperature, covered, for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed within the first 36 hours.
  • For a refreshed taste and texture, toast slices for 1–2 minutes.
  • To keep leftovers or prepare ahead:
    • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a plastic bag.
    • Freeze for up to 6 weeks.
  • When ready to eat, unwrap and let sit at room temperature.
  • Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Over mixing the batter will yield a dense chewy bread, so only mix until you no longer notice any dry flour.
  • Replace the sour cream with buttermilk, and the chocolate chip with more chopped hazelnuts.
  • Use a kitchen knife to chop the hazelnuts to the size you prefer, or a food processor. 
  • Keep in mind that when the bread is warm it might melt the icing.
  • Use nutella as icing instead of the cinnamon icing.
