Description
If you’re searching for a rich, soft, and flavorful chocolate bread or chocolate loaf cake recipe, this one is a perfect pick.
Ingredients
- 280 g Dark Chocolate
- 125 g Butter
- 1 heaped tbsp Nutella
- 135 g White Sugar
- 5 Eggs
- 100 g Flour
- 30 g Bitter Cocoa Powder
- 1 sachet Baking Powder or ~10g
- 1 pinch of Salt
Instructions
-
Set your oven to 180°C (356°F). While fan-assisted heat is an option, I prefer static cooking with heat from below, as my oven tends to be unpredictable.
-
Weigh all your ingredients carefully before starting to ensure accuracy and ease during mixing.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and chocolate, both cut into small pieces.
-
Melt them in a microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring each time) or over a bain-marie (double boiler).
-
Once melted, mix the chocolate and butter until smooth and glossy.
-
Stir in a heaped tablespoon of Nutella for added creaminess.
-
Add the sugar to the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined.
-
Crack the eggs in one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
-
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
-
Gradually fold this mixture into the chocolate batter.
-
Butter and flour your mold, or line it with baking paper to prevent sticking.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared mold and use a knife to draw a small line down the center.
-
Place the mold in the oven. After 10 minutes, lower the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and trace the center line again.
-
Bake for an additional 30 minutes, then switch to fan-assisted heat for the final cooking phase to ensure an even bake.
