Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
3 eggs
150g
3/4 cup olive oil
180g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 cup raisins
180g
1/2 cup hazelnuts
60g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually add in the olive oil while continuing to beat, then mix in the milk until well combined.
4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
5. Add Raisins and Hazelnuts:
- Fold in the raisins and chopped hazelnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Bake the Loaf:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare Chocolate Glaze:
- While the loaf is cooling, make the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not let it boil).
- Remove the cream from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for about 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
8. Glaze the Loaf:
- Once the loaf has cooled, pour the chocolate glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Let the glaze set before slicing the loaf.
9. Serving:
- Slice the loaf and serve. Enjoy your rich and indulgent Chocolate Raisin Hazelnut Loaf with a cup of coffee or tea.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix, as this helps to maintain a smooth and consistent batter.

- Toast the hazelnuts lightly before adding them to enhance their nutty flavor.

- Use a good quality dark chocolate to elevate the richness of the loaf.

- Do not overmix the batter, as this can cause the loaf to be dense and tough. Mix until just combined.

- Check the loaf for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your loaf is ready.

- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents it from breaking apart.

- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle some melted chocolate on top of the loaf before serving.

Your Chocolate Raisin Hazelnut Loaf is now ready to be enjoyed. With its moist texture, rich cocoa flavor, and delightful bites of raisins and hazelnuts, it’s a true crowd-pleaser. Serve it warm or at room temperature for a delicious treat that’s perfect for any time of the day.
