– 2 cups all-purpose flour – 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – 1/2 cup sugar – 1 tsp baking soda – 1/4 tsp salt – 1 cup buttermilk – 1/4 cup vegetable oil – 1 tsp vanilla extract – 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips – 1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly mixed and lump-free.
In another bowl, mix buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Fold in dark chocolate chips and raisins gently using a spatula. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft and moist after baking.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your dark chocolate bread with raisins!
