Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together sourdough starter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking

  2. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
