Ingredients

20 servings

•

2 cups all-purpose flour
•

1 ¼ cups Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder
•

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
•

1 teaspoon salt
•

½ teaspoon baking powder
•

½ teaspoon baking soda

•

1 cup buttermilk
•

¼ cup water
•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

1 ½ cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
•

3 cups white sugar
•

5 large eggs, at room temperature

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together into a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, water, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
Combine butter and sugar in a third, large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until egg is completely incorporated. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition until just blended. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
