Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it toward the end of the baking time.
Cool:
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Presentation
To elevate your Moist Chocolate Loaf Cake’s presentation, consider the following tips:
Serve Slices: Once the cake has completely cooled, slice it into thick pieces and arrange them neatly on a serving platter.
Add a Dusting of Cocoa Powder or Powdered Sugar: A light sprinkle on top enhances the visual appeal and add a touch of elegance.
Frost or Glaze: For an extra treat, drizzle a rich chocolate ganache or a simple chocolate glaze over the top of the cake. You can also use cream cheese frosting for a tangy contrast.
Decorate with Fresh Berries: Raspberry or strawberry on the side brings a pop of color and a fresh flavor that complements the richness of the chocolate.
Garnish: Add a few mint leaves or edible flowers for a touch of sophistication.
Enjoy this delectable cake with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for the perfect dessert experience! Would you like suggestions for different frosting options?
