Preparation

  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
