Chocolate Loaf Brunch Cake Ideas

Sharing is caring!

If you are looking for brunch cake ideas, start with this delicious chocolate loaf cake!

 

Loaf cakes are the perfect option for when you want something sweet, but don’t want to bake an entire cake or spend time decorating one.

Topping Off Brunch Cakes

Chocolate loaf cake is delicious all on its own.

However it pairs well with so many foods from fruit to ice cream, why not indulge a little?

Instead of slicing the loaf cake into large pieces, choose smaller slices, put them on a plate, then top the cake loaf slice with strawberries, blueberries, cherries or even raspberries.

A scoop of ice cream with a little caramel sauce is sure to be the perfect brunch dessert.

Another option is to use regular icing on the loaf cake.

I chose to pair one of my chocolate loaf cakes with Pillsbury Cinnamon Bun icing and leave the other one plain.
