Chocolate Fudge Bread for 10 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Note: A hot oven ensures the baking soda reacts immediately.
2. Sift the flour, 0.75 cup cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into your large bowl.
3. Whisk the eggs with the coconut sugar in a separate bowl until the mixture looks pale and slightly frothy.
4. Stir in the yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Pour the hot coffee over the cocoa/flour mixture and stir briefly. Note: This blooms the cocoa before the other wet ingredients arrive.
6. Combine the mixtures by pouring the wet into the dry.
7. Fold gently using your spatula until no white streaks of flour remain.
8. Toss in the chocolate chips, keeping a small handful aside for the top.
9. Transfer to the pan and bake for 50 minutes until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before moving to a wire rack to prevent the loaf from breaking.
