1️⃣ Prepare your oven & pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a loaf pan (or line with parchment paper for easy removal).
2️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
Set aside.
3️⃣ Prepare the wet mixture
In another bowl:
- Beat the eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy
- Add oil and vanilla extract
- Mix well
4️⃣ 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)
5️⃣ Add chocolate chips
Fold in chocolate chips for extra richness and gooey texture.
6️⃣ 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
7️⃣ Cool & serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely
- Slice and enjoy 😍
🍯 Pro Tips (Make it PERFECT)

- Add a pinch of espresso powder for bakery-level taste
- Wrap overnight → flavor gets even better the next day
🍫 Optional Chocolate Glaze (Highly Recommended)
