Preparation

  1. 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.
