Chocolate Loaf Cake (Vegan)
This Chocolate loaf cake checks all of the boxes, its rich, moist, beyond chocolatey and super easy. The soft, tender crumb owes its rich chocolatey flavor to unsweetened cocoa powder, with a touch of coffee added to boost that chocolate goodness. The loaf is finished off with a luscious chocolate ganache made with semi-sweet chocolate. Every bite is absolute chocolate indulgence. A wonderfully decadent loaf, dairy and egg-free, and perfect for any chocolate lover.

- Chocolate Loaf: Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare an 8×4 loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- To a small pot, add the milk, water and coffee. Heat the mixture to just boiling, remove from heat and add the cocoa powder. Whisk to fully incorporate the cocoa into the milk mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- To a small bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; whisk to combine and set aside.
- To a medium bowl, add both sugars and the oil. Whisk the sugar and oil together for 30 seconds to a minute. Add the yogurt and vanilla extract, and the cocoa mixture and continue whisking for another 30 seconds to a minute. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. You want the sides to be pulling away from the pan and when a toothpick is inserted, it comes out clean.
- Once out of the oven, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Once the loaf has cooled to room temperature, it’s ready to be topped with the ganache.
- Chocolate Ganache: Place the chocolate in a heat safe bowl and set it aside.
- Heat the cream in a small pot over medium to medium-low heat, just to a simmer. Do not allow it to boil. Once heated, pour the cream over the chocolate and let it stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, stir the cream and chocolate together until all of the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth and creamy.
- Let the ganache cool to room temperature.
- Once the loaf cake and ganache are room temperature, the ganache can be spread over the top of the loaf cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature.
