Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Walnuts, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, reserving a small handful of each for topping, if desired.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and walnuts on top for a decorative touch.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 9
Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
