Ingredients you will need for Chocolate Bread Recipe

this …

1. Dutch process cocoa: The bread’s rich chocolate flavor comes from unsweetened cocoa powder. You can use either Dutch-processed cocoa or natural, unsweetened cocoa powder. Avoid using sweetened cocoa for this recipe.
2. Sugars: You will need both brown and white sugar. Light brown sugar adds a lovely depth of flavor. Granulated Sugar (Caster Sugar): Provides sweetness and balances the cocoa intensity.
3. Butter: This recipe uses butter instead of vegetable oil for extra flavor. It is best to use unsalted butter for this loaf cake recipes.
4. Buttermilk: For a tender crumb, I recommend using full-fat store-bought buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk, you substitute it by adding one tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of whole or full-fat milk.
5. Chocolate chip: These little gems add bursts of chocolate goodness throughout the bread. You can use light or dark chocolate chips or even get creative with white chocolate chips or peanut butter. Please feel free to modify as desired.

Instructions

1.Prepare the Cocoa Mixture

Sift 2/3 cup of cocoa powder (either natural or Dutch-processed) into a mixing bowl. Add melted unsalted butter and oil (both quarter cup) to the cocoa powder. Mix until you have a smooth, even mixture.

Add brown and white sugar (half a cup) to the cocoa mixture. Crack in two large eggs and pour in 1 cup of milk. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and mix everything well until it forms an even batter.

Stir in two teaspoons of baking powder, one teaspoon of baking soda, and the same amount of salt. Gradually mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency. Add chocolate chips to enhance the chocolate goodness.
