Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate (for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
While the bread is cooling, prepare the chocolate drizzle. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it begins to steam (but not boil). Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bread and let it set for about 15 minutes.
Slice the bread and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
