# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 325°F and spray a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Add chocolate chips to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
04 -
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

With the mixer on low, add the melted chocolate, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
06 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.
07 -
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 85-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
08 -
Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the ganache.
09 -
Place the chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Set aside.
10 -
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn the cream.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute or two before slowly stirring until all chips are melted.
12 -
Allow the ganache to cool and thicken slightly before drizzling it over the cooled bread.

Once spread over the loaf, let it set for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
