Chocolate Philly Loaf is a delightful and rich treat that's perfect for both casual and special occasions. This recipe combines the creaminess of cream cheese with the deep flavors of cocoa for a loaf that's both moist and flavorful. Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting out, this recipe is straightforward and easy to follow.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the loaf from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Beat in the cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the water and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda until they are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating at a low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the loaf dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the chocolate philly loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, slice the loaf and serve. Enjoy your delicious, homemade chocolate philly loaf!
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps with even mixing and a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; this can take about 3-5 minutes. This step is crucial for a lighter loaf.
- Don't overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in a denser loaf.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the loaf, and if it comes out clean, your loaf is ready.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set and makes it easier to remove.
There you have it—a delicious Chocolate Philly Loaf that's sure to impress anyone who takes a bite. With its perfect balance of rich chocolate and creamy textures, this loaf is a surefire way to satisfy your sweet cravings. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or serve it as a decadent dessert!
