Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Milk chocolate, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cup Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the melted and cooled milk chocolate until fully combined.

Step 6

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture in three additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for decoration or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
