✔️ ½ tsp baking soda
✔️ ½ tsp salt

👨🍳 Instructions: How to Make It!
🔪 Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
🧈 Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
🍫 Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
🥄 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
🍰 Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
🥚 Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
💧 Step 4: Add Boiling Water
💧 Slowly add the boiling water to the batter. It will be thin, but that’s what makes it incredibly moist! Stir until well combined.
🍫 Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
🍫 Gently fold in the chocolate chips (if using) to the batter.
⏳ Step 6: Bake
🍰 Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
⏰ Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
❄️ Step 7: Cool & Glaze (Optional)
🍰 Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
🍫 For extra indulgence, make the glaze: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Remove from heat, add the chopped chocolate and butter, and stir until smooth.
🍫 Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf cake.
🍽 Serving & Storage Tips
✔️ Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence!
✔️ Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
