Ingredients you will need for Chocolate Bread Recipe

  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

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.
