Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the bottom of an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, beat together unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Pour in buttermilk and add vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
- Gradually add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt while mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar, and milk until smooth to make the glaze.
- Once the bread is completely cooled, pour the glaze over the top.

Notes
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best results. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and airy.
