Ingredients:
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) milk
¾ cup (75g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
½ cup (120ml) hot water or hot coffee (for deeper flavor)
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prep the oven and pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Combine dry ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. Cream butter and sugar:
Using a mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
4. Add eggs and vanilla:
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. Alternate wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry mixture, blending until just combined.
6. Add hot water or coffee:
Gently stir in the hot water or coffee to create a smooth, thin batter.
7. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the surface and bake for 55-65 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
8. Cool and serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success:
Use hot coffee for an extra depth of chocolate flavor.
Add chocolate chips for a gooey texture.
