Chocolate loaf can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you’d like to enjoy it later, simply warm individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds for a freshly-baked taste. The loaf also freezes well, so feel free to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store it in the freezer for up to a month. To thaw, leave it at room temperature or warm slices in the microwave.
Additional Tips
- If you prefer a more intense coffee flavor, you can increase the amount of coffee powder slightly, or even use brewed coffee instead of milk for an extra boost.
- For an added texture, consider mixing in chocolate chips or nuts to the batter before baking.
- If you want a lighter texture, you can sift the dry ingredients more than once to ensure they are very airy before mixing with the wet ingredients.
