Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (not wet).
