Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½  cup best quality cocoa powder I only use Valrhona
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½  teaspoon baking soda
  • ½  teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate I only use Callebaut 71%, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • ½  cup brewed coffee
  • 1½  cups brown sugar
  • ½  cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325℉.
  • Mix the chocolate, eggs, coffee, brown sugar and vanilla together in a small mixing bowl.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over mix or the cake will be tough.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick can be inserted and will have moist crumbs on it.
  • Place the cake pan on a cooling rack and allow to cool for 1 hour. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and unmold onto a plate. Dust with powdered sugar.

Tips

  • Lightly grease a loaf pan with canola oil and then dust it with cocoa powder.
