You guys... this chocolate loaf is the BEST. I know "loaf" isn't the prettiest word, either but hear me out. I was craving chocolate cupcakes and I knew I had a box of chocolate cake mix in the pantry ready to go, but I wanted to try something a little different. I also wanted to bake something that would require less work and less room for storage (storing a ton of cupcakes can be a pain). Long story short, I whipped up a chocolate cake loaf using the chocolate cake mix and it was out of this world delicious and easy. For some extra chocolatey taste, I threw some chocolate chips into the batter and on top of the loaf right after it came out of the oven. I'm sure there are amazing, from-scratch chocolate loaf recipes out there if you're not a fan of the boxed mix, but I am apart of the population that is allllllll about that cake mix taste :). (Not sure how many more times I could have said "chocolate" in this description....)

1 box of general chocolate cake mix

1 cup of milk chocolate chips (3/4 cup for the batter and then ¼ for sprinkling on top of both loaves

2 loaf pans

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and spray 2 loaf pans with cooking spray.
Prepare the chocolate cake mix per the instructions on the back of the box.
Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth.
Pour equal amounts of batter into each loaf pan.
Bake loaves for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick/knife is inserted and comes out clean.
Let both loaves set and cool completely before removing them from the pans. To remove, I place my hand over top of the loaf and gently flip the pan over. The loaves should slide right out!
