Description
A rich, dense, and fudgy chocolate loaf cake packed with cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the ultimate chocolate experience.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) milk
¾ cup (75g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
½ cup (120ml) hot water or hot coffee
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Step 6: Slowly stir in the hot water or coffee until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
Notes
Using hot coffee instead of water enhances the chocolate flavor significantly without making the cake taste like coffee.
