Baked's Double Chocolate Loaf
Servings: Serves 12
Butter, for greasing pan
3/4 cup tightly-packed dark brown sugar
1 cup Dutch cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
8 ounces semisweet (60 percent) chocolate chunks
Whipped cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Butter one 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan, dust with flour, and knock out excess flour. Place brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Press out any lumps with the back of a large spoon. Add cocoa, flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg and egg yolks until blended, then add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla; whisk until combined. Turn mixer to low and pour in egg-buttermilk mixture in a thin steady stream, mixing just until combined.
Remove the bowl; stir in chocolate chunks by hand with a wooden spoon. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of loaf comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes; remove and place on rack to cool completely. Serve plain or toasted; top with whipped cream (optional).
