Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Use buttermilk for added richness and a tender crumb.
  • Fold in chopped nuts or dried fruit for variation.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture.
  • This bread also makes excellent muffins—just reduce baking time to 18–22 minutes.
