Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water or hot brewed coffee
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine thoroughly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully pour the hot water or hot coffee into the batter. Mix gently until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using hot coffee instead of hot water deepens the chocolate flavor, creating a more decadent chocolate bread experience.
  • For an extra fudgy swirl, reserve 1/4 cup of the batter and mix it with 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate before swirling it into the main batter in the pan.
  • This bread slices best once it has cooled completely.
