Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder for about one minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, then gradually incorporate the melted chocolate.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Slowly stir in the hot coffee.
  6. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a handful for topping later.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top. Bake for 60-70 minutes.
  8. Once baked, let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
