Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by thoroughly coating with grease and a light dusting of flour.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking to ensure even distribution of cocoa powder, sugars, and salt.
- In a separate vessel, blend melted butter with eggs and vanilla extract, creating a smooth, homogeneous liquid mixture.
- Delicately incorporate wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring with minimal manipulation to prevent tough texture.
- Gently introduce chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing them evenly without excessive stirring.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring an even surface for consistent baking.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with slight moisture and a few tender crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow the bread to rest and cool slightly before slicing to maintain structural integrity and enhance flavor development.
Notes
- Achieve a moist, fudgy texture by carefully avoiding overmixing the batter, which can lead to a tough, dense bread.
- Customize the recipe by swapping chocolate chips with nuts, dried fruits, or alternative chocolate varieties for unique flavor profiles.
- Enhance the richness by using high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips, elevating the overall taste and decadence of the bread.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain optimal moisture and flavor.
