Easy chocolate loaf cake with chocolate caramel glaze is a delightful and indulgent dessert that is simple to make yet impressive in flavor and presentation. This moist and tender loaf cake is rich with chocolate flavor and topped with a decadent caramel glaze, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.
To make this cake, start by preheating your oven and greasing a loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-55 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate caramel glaze. In a small saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth and melted. Let the glaze cool slightly, then pour it over the cooled cake.
Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving the cake. The result is a moist and decadent chocolate loaf cake with a rich and gooey caramel glaze that is sure to impress. Serve slices of this cake with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
