Double Chocolate Loaf Recipe

Jul 26, 2016 · 32 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This super decadent and rich double chocolate loaf recipe is all you’ve ever wanted and dreamed of in a dessert that pairs super well with all the summer berries that are in season right now.

This is the best double chocolate loaf cake this image

After the incredible last week I had with my cookbook launch (more about that here and don’t forget to enter the super awesome giveaway that’s happening here) it is time to celebrate, and this double chocolate loaf cake is more than worthy of serving for a celebration.

The best ingredients for this double chocolate loaf recipe

Made with two kinds of chocolate (chocolate chips and cocoa powder) and a hint of coffee added to bring out even more intense chocolate flavors, this loaf is pretty much the best chocolate loaf ever. When I first made the loaf, I could not stop eating it, every time I’d walk by I’d have a little bite. I literally had to give it to my hubby to take to work because I was in fear I would eat the whole thing by myself, it’s THAT good!

The best double chocolate loaf recipe to make

And is it just me, or if the word ‘loaf’ is in the recipe title do you automatically associate it with being ‘healthier’? I know it’s not, but I like to think it is, because that justifies having more than one piece, right? LOL. But seriously, I have a love of baking loaves, there’s something homey and romantic feeling about making a delicious loaf – just like with this zucchini banana nutella swirl loaf from last year, they’re so yummy and great for sharing at family gatherings or with coworkers.

The most delicious double chocolate loaf recipe

A note I would make about this loaf is that after baking it and letting it cool, the top forms a little bit of a crust and does sink in a little (which is totally a-ok) and what I like to do is cut the loaf in 8-10 pieces, and then cut each slice in half for prettier serving.

The perfect double chocolate loaf is this recipe

This double chocolate loaf is super dense and chocolatey bite after bite, it goes great with summer berries. Here I’m serving it with raspberries, but it would also go great with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries – basically it would go great with any berries you have on hand (or it would even go great with cherries)!

    Hey! This is a great recipe, thanks a lot for posting it. I’ve made this loaf twice now. The first time it came out to be pretty perfect for my taste. The second time, however, the brown sugar has collected at the bottom in the finished loaf ( there is a bit of a gooey, sugary residue at the bottom in parts? because of which the sweetness in the cake is slightly uneven. Do you know why that might have happened?
    I use a convection microwave to bake.

      So glad you liked this recipe!! It sounds like perhaps in the second loaf the ingredients weren’t mixed thoroughly? that’s the only thing I can think of.

        I see. I should perhaps mix the melted chocolate and sugar better before I add the flour in. The rise of the cake wasnt as good either this time. I also might have greased my pan a bit too much, I’m not sure if that causes any problems.
        Thanks a lot for getting back to me. The cake still tastes great, I just wanted to perfect it because its a wonderful recipe. Do you think I could add in some chopped walnuts to this? Would I need to adjust any other ingredients to do that?

    Delicious recipe but the texture wasn’t as moist and as dense as I had hope, I think ill replace the butter with oil next time. Cheers for the recipe nonetheless x

    Can you just substitute gluten free flour to make this gluten free? Just tried your GF pumpkin bread recipe and it was amazing!

      You sure could! I would suggest using a gluten free baking flour, like Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten free baking flour 🙂

    I’m definitely not concerned about a sunken top when dense and chocolatey are the other adjectives in the recipe. Love this! Just gorgeous!

      Hi Lori, great question, no, you don’t have to use coffee, just use hot water in its place.
