Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should just come together.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure 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 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice and serve. This bread pairs wonderfully with butter or a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
