Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons good-quality, natural cocoa powder (I like Schaeffen Berger)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups milk

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
  • Mix together the flours, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine the butter with the sugar and espresso powder. Add the egg, beating to distribute evenly, then pour in the milk. Using as few strokes as possible, stir in the dry ingredients.
  • Transfer to the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top is dry and slightly cracked. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack and cool further before slicing.
