This is easy to make and doesn’t require any special equipment or ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 3/4 cup vegetable oil
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk until everything is combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Add the buttermilk and whisk again until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
This bread is perfect on its own, but you can also jazz it up with some toppings. Here are a few ideas:
– Whipped cream and berries: Slice the bread and top each piece with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries.
– Chocolate glaze: Mix together some powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until you have a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
– Peanut butter and banana: Spread some creamy peanut butter on a slice of bread and top with some sliced banana.
No matter how you serve it, this chocolate spiced bread is sure to be a hit. It’s rich, chocolaty, and the perfect amount of spicy. Plus, it’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. So go ahead and indulge – you deserve it!
