Sour Cream Chocolate Loaf Cake

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt diamond kosher half if morton
  • 2 sticks butter melted
  • 3/4 cup hot coffee
  • 2/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips coated in 1 tablespoon of flour optional
  • ½ cup standard chocolate chips optional (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease a large loaf pan with cooking spray (9” x 5”)
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together sugar, baking soda, flour, and salt
  • In a large mixing bowl mix together the melted butter, hot coffee, and cocoa powder. Once mixed, add in the flour mixture. Whisk together until combined
  • Add in the eggs, vanilla and sour cream. Mix until evenly combined (if adding mini chocolate chips, mix in after this step)
  • Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan (top with standard sized chocolate chips if using) and bake for 50 minutes - 75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
  • Note: This yields one large loaf, but depending on the size of the loaf pan you may have enough for 2 loaves (don't fill the loaf pan all the way - be sure to leave 1” of the loaf pan around the edges without batter)
  • Remove from the oven and cool. After 15 minutes, run a knife along the sides of the loaf and flip onto a wire rack to finish cooling

Notes

For extra melted chocolate on top, you can scatter more chocolate chips on top when it comes out of the oven.
