Directions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly pale — this ensures even sweetness and moisture in your bread.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step helps distribute the leavening agent and prevents clumps of cocoa in the batter.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft and tender.
