How to Make Chocolate Gingerbread Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed light or dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup corn syrup, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup buttermilk until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
