  • Yield: 12 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 ¼ cups (450g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins for Flavor Customization:

  • Chocolate chips – for extra richness
  • Espresso powder (1 teaspoon) – enhances chocolate flavor
  • Orange zest (1 teaspoon) – for a citrusy contrast
  • Chopped nuts (½ cup) – adds texture

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a Bundt pan with butter and flour.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add sugar and continue beating for another 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. If using optional add-ins, fold them in now.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent a tough texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, add espresso powder to the batter.
  • For best results, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
