Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- Grease two 8 x 4-in (20 x 10-cm) loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy or Pam with Flour.
- Pour the boiling water into a 2-cup (480-ml) glass measuring cup, add the bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder, and coffee granules, and stir until the chocolate melts.
- Set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups (480ml) flour, the baking powder, and salt and set aside.
- In another bowl, toss the chocolate chips with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- The mixture may look at little curdled at this point; that's okay.
- Alternately in thirds, add the flour mixture and the chocolate mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
- (Don't worry if there are a few bits of unmelted chocolate in the chocolate mixture.) Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- (Test in a few places because you might hit a warm chocolate chip.) Cool in the pans for 15 minutes, turn out on a cooling rack, rounded side up, and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Slice with a serrated knife.
