🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2️⃣ Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and dissolved coffee. Whisk until smooth.
4️⃣ Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
5️⃣ Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool the Cake
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7️⃣ Add the Caramel Topping
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top for a luscious finish.
🌟 Pro Tips:
Use dark chocolate chips for a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel topping for a sweet-salty twist.
Pair with a hot cup of coffee or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
