Equipment

8x4 or 9x5-inch Metal loaf pan greased & lined with parchment paper
Mixing bowls
Measuring spoons
Scale/measuring cups
Spatula
Whisk

Ingredients

⅓ cup (42 g) all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons (32 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (84 g) unsalted butter measured, then melted & slightly cooled
¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (175 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg room temperature
¼ cup (45 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or your favorite chocolate

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F/177°C. Lightly grease a metal loaf pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper (folded over the sides).
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅛ teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the slightly-cooled melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg really well.
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg
With a spatula, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones just until no dry streaks remain.
Fold in the chocolate chips so they're evenly distributed.
¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with the spatula.
Bake on the middle rack for about 25-30 minutes.
Check for doneness: Does the center jiggle with a gentle shake? If yes, keep baking. If no, stick a toothpick in the middle. Is the toothpick covered in batter? If yes, keep baking. If there are just a few moist crumbs, they're done.
