Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined. Then add the eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, mixing until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the bread.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter for added bursts of chocolate throughout the bread.
- Transfer Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra decadence, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
- This bread is best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature to enjoy its fudgy texture.
