Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are fine).
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain, or spread with butter, cream cheese, or jam for added richness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
