Servings: 1 LOAF = 10 SLICES
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup canola oil (or the oil of your choice)
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).
- Add the wet ingredients (eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract) and mix until smooth.
- Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, tap it on the counter a couple of times to level it out, and bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the bread cool down in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooking rack to cool down completely.
- Once the bread has cooled down, make the ganache: place 1/4 cup chocolate chips in a small bowl and set aside. Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Turn of the heat and pour the cream over the chocolate chips. Let stand for a couple of minutes and stir until the chips are melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled bread.
