Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 cups butter (at room temperature, I used 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening)
  • 3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder (Dutch-processed cocoa powder)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cold, double strength or water)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided, you could use more if you want)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper or foil to cover the bottoms and up the sides with at least a 1-inch overhang. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Step 2: Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

  • Step 3: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In another bowl or liquid mixing cup, combine the buttermilk, coffee and vanilla.

  • Step 4: With the mixer on low, add 1/3 of the dry ingredients, followed by half of the buttermilk mixture, beating just until combined. Add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients, then the remaining buttermilk, followed by the remaining dry ingredients.

  • Step 5: Divide the mixture between the two prepared loaf pans. Shake the pans back and forth to even the tops. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips over the top of each pan, then using a knife, "cut" the chips through the batter.

  • Step 6: Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, 45-55 minutes.

  • Step 7: Let the bread cool completely before lifting out of the pans.
