Dry Ingredients & Their Roles

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour – Provides structure and stability to the cake, forming the base of the loaf.
• ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder – The key ingredient that gives the cake its deep, rich chocolate flavor and dark color.
• 1 tsp baking powder – Helps the cake rise evenly and creates a light, airy texture.
• ½ tsp baking soda – Works with acidic ingredients to improve softness and enhance the crumb.
• ¼ tsp salt – Balances sweetness and enhances the overall chocolate intensity.

These dry ingredients form the foundation of the cake. When combined correctly, they create a stable yet soft structure that supports the moisture and richness added later in the recipe.

Wet Ingredients & Flavor Enhancers

• • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and helps create structure and tenderness in the cake.
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar – Provides moisture, richness, and a subtle caramel flavor that deepens the chocolate taste.
