Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the hot water or coffee—the batter will be thin, but that’s what makes the cake so moist.
5. Add the Chocolate Chips (Optional)
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate in every bite.
6. Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
7. Cool & Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy!
