Ingredients

Makes 1 cake

　　2 ounces unsweetened chocolate

　　2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

　　1/2 teaspoon baking soda

　　1 teaspoon baking powder

　　1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

　　2 large eggs

　　3 tablespoons vegetable oil

　　3/4 cup honey

　　2/3 cup light-brown sugar

　　1/2 cup orange juice

　　1 cup mini chocolate chips

　　

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan. Melt the unsweetened chocolate over simmering water in a double boiler or microwave for 1 minute. Set aside.

　　

Step 2

Sift into a mixing bowl the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon and set aside.

　　

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the oil and honey. Then add the brown sugar and melted chocolate.

　　

Step 4

Alternately mix in the dry ingredients and the orange juice. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.

　　

Step 5

Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top.

　　

Step 6

Bake on the lower rack of the oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for about 15 minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, then remove it from the pan.
