Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the chocolate chips gently into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your chocolate bread as is, or with a spread of your choice.
