Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should just come together.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. This bread pairs wonderfully with butter or a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
