@loveheartkitchen: Chocolate Loaf Cake 🍫 This rich, chocolatey loaf cake is soft, moist and full of deep cocoa flavour, while the creamy chocolate frosting adds the perfect finishing touch. ❤️ Ingredients: • 180g plain (all-purpose) flour • 40g unsweetened cocoa powder • 1 teaspoon baking soda • ½ teaspoon baking powder • ¼ teaspoon salt • 200g white sugar • 50g light brown sugar • 120ml neutral-tasting oil • 2 large eggs, room temperature • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 180ml buttermilk, room temperature • 60ml warm coffee Method: • Preheat the oven to 170°C/350°F. Line a 23 × 13cm /9 × 5-inch loaf tin with baking paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the white sugar, brown sugar and oil. • Whisk in the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until smooth. • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold in gently until just combined. • Fold in the warm coffee until the batter is smooth and evenly combined. Do not overmix. • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Baking times can vary between ovens, so begin checking around the 45-minute mark. • Leave the cake in the tin for 10–15 minutes, then use the baking paper to lift it out and transfer it to a wire rack. • Cool completely before adding the chocolate cream cheese frosting. Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting • 125g full-fat cream cheese • 35g unsalted butter, softened • 100g icing sugar/powdered sugar • 20g unsweetened cocoa powder • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract • Pinch of salt Method: • Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. • Add the icing sugar/powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. • Beat until combined, light and fluffy. Spread the frosting over the completely cooled loaf, slice and enjoy. #chocolateloafcake #chocolatecake #easybaking #chocolatelover #homebaking
