How to Make Chocolate Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1 cup milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped pecans (optional).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
