Prepare your oven & pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a loaf pan (or line with parchment paper for easy removal).
Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
Set aside.
Prepare the wet mixture
In another bowl:
- Beat the eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy
- Add oil and vanilla extract
- Mix well
Combine everything
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture
- Pour in the warm milk and mix gently
- Add hot coffee (this deepens the chocolate flavor )
- Stir until smooth (do NOT overmix)
Add chocolate chips
Fold in chocolate chips for extra richness and gooey texture.
Bake
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan
- Bake for 45–55 minutes
- Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready
Cool & serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely
- Slice and enjoy
