How to Make Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake Nigella Lawson
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf tin, ensuring it's well lined to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This is crucial for a tender crumb.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the boiling water – this creates a wonderfully moist texture.
- Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
