Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 cup sugar 200g
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs lightly whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons mint extract
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 240g
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder 50g
- 1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick oil spray and line with a long strip of parchment paper with ends of paper extended. Coat parchment paper with oil spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar and milk. Stir in the eggs, vanilla and mint extract, add the sour cream and stir until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, whisk together. Fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out with a few crumbs.
- Transfer from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. When cool, use the parchment paper overhang ends to lift the cake from the pan.
Notes
- Prepping the loaf pan with an overhanging strip of parchment paper is ideal for removing the cake from the pan. There is no need to tip the cake out of the pan.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted for the sour cream.
- When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients be careful to not overmix the batter. Mix only until the flour is blended and no white streaks show.
- Oven temps are not always the same, begin checking the cake for doneness at 45 minutes and remove when a toothpick or cake tester comes out with just a few crumbs.
