You can also grease a loaf pan and insert a parchment paper sling across the wide side for lifting, but the foil eliminates washing the pan. I like to use part dark chocolate chips and part 68% chocolate bar. It’s best to have your ingredients at room temperature.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups all purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 eggs
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil
-
3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/2 cup milk (I use whole milk)
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or chunks of a dark chocolate bar)
-
1/2 cup chopped toasted nuts (I use pecans & walnuts)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350° F.
-
Line a loaf pan with aluminum foil.
-
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt onto wax paper. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla for 3 minutes until thick.
-
On lowest speed, stir in half the flour mixture, followed by the milk, and then the remaining flour.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts. Do not over-mix.
-
Spread batter evenly into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.
-
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
