• Yields: 1 loaf (9x5 inch pan)

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
• ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (Dutch-process recommended for richer flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Salt
• ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
• ½ cup Packed Light Brown Sugar (for extra moisture)
• ½ cup Vegetable Oil (or melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 large Eggs
• ¾ cup Buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar, let sit 5 min)
• ¾ cup Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet, dark, or milk)

Equipment:

• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk or spatula
• 9x5 inch loaf pan
• Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add both the granulated and brown sugars and stir to combine.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until the eggs are just broken up and the wet ingredients are partially combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour into Pan: Pour the chocolate batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
8. Cool: Let the chocolate bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your incredibly moist and easy One-Bowl Chocolate Bread! It's delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
