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
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water or hot brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

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 well.
  4. Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Carefully pour the hot water or hot coffee into the batter. Mix on low speed until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using hot coffee instead of hot water deepens the chocolate flavor without making the bread taste like coffee.
  • For an extra fudgy texture, you can fold in 1/2 cup of chopped dark chocolate along with the chips.
  • This recipe is very forgiving, but avoid overbaking to keep the texture ultra-moist.
