Rye Cocoa Cake

Ingredients

• 1.75 cups rye flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.75 cups packed light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Position rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
3. Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
4. In a large bowl, mix together the milk and brown sugar. Whisk in both oils and the eggs.
5. Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to stir it until just combined.
6. Transfer the mixture into the pan.
7. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, for 30-35 minutes, until the top is set and a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

9. Store the cake, covered, at room temperature for up to 5 days. Or, wrap it in plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
