Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Sugar and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
Wet Ingredients and Additions:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by coating with butter and a light dusting of flour, or lining with parchment paper for effortless removal.
- Sift together the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – ensuring a uniform mixture with no lumps.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugars, whisking until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy texture.
- Introduce eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, blending thoroughly to create a rich, homogeneous base.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk or buttermilk. Gently fold to maintain the batter’s airy consistency.
- Fold chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture for delightful chocolate pockets.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface to ensure an even bake.
- Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 50-60 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Allow the loaf to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, enabling it to set and cool slightly.
- Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack, letting it cool completely before slicing to preserve its delicate structure.
Notes
- Check oven temperature precisely to ensure even baking and rich chocolate flavor.
- Grease pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy bread removal.
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter and more consistent texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender and prevent tough texture.
- Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For extra decadence, drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
