Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few fudgy crumbs.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
