Double Chocolate Loaf Cake

I was bored one day and decided to make a chocolate cake. Found a loaf pan and some chocolate chips in the pantry, and thought, "why not?" I like to add coffee or espresso to my chocolate cakes and brownies, as it helps to bring out the flavor of the chocolate while at the same time suppressing some of its sweetness. This cake is perfect with a glass of milk!

Ingredients:
     1/2 cup of butter, melted
     1 cup of milk
     2 eggs
     1 tsp vanilla extract
     1/4 cup of black coffee
     1 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
     1 1/2 tsp baking powder
     1 1/2 tsp baking soda
     3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
     2 cups of white sugar
     1 tsp salt
     3/4 cup of boiling water
     1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350F and grease two loaf pans. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla, and coffee. Beat for at least a minute and then stir in the cup of boiling water. Finally, add the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then slice and serve.
