Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee or hot water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp butter (optional for extra shine)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, combine oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until just combined. Pour in hot coffee and mix gently.
  4. Pour into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before topping.
