Preparation

  4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract, then stir in both the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle extra chips and strawberry slices on top if desired.
Baking
  1. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  2. Allow the loaf to rest in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Slice the bread warm with butter for best flavor. It can be stored at room temperature for 2–3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment.
