Decadent Peppermint Chocolate Loaf Cakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease three 8x4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add the egg whites, whole eggs, coffee, yogurt, oil, and extracts, mixing until well blended.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Fold in the chocolate chips.

4. 4

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

5. 5

   Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled loaves and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
