Ingredients<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 \u00bd cups (190g) all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 \u00bd tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bc tsp salt<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bd cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 large eggs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bd cup (120ml) milk<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00be cup (75g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bd cup (120ml) hot water or hot coffee (for a richer flavor)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1\/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Prepare the oven and pan:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a loaf pan (9\u00d75 inches) and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Mix dry ingredients:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Cream the butter and sugar:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Add the eggs and vanilla:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with adding the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Add hot water or coffee:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slowly stir in the hot water (or coffee), which will make the batter thinner but help to create a moist cake.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Bake:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Cool:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
