Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 whole large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This creates your dry mixture.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. Enjoy as a deliciously indulgent treat any time of the day!
