Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

  4. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
