Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup hot brewed coffee
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, cocoa, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and hot coffee. Whisk until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  3. Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips with a spatula.
  4. Pour batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment. Top with extra chocolate chips. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick has moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, lift out, cool completely, then slice.

Notes

The cake often tastes even better the next day as the moisture settles. To serve warm, slice and microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
