Ingredients

Servings 2

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup alkalized (Dutch process) cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ºF and butter two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans.
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl and stir well. Set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer set at medium speed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, continuing to beat the batter smooth after each addition.
Scrape the bowl, lower the mixer speed then add the sour cream and the dry ingredients in intervals until fully incorporated.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake the cakes for 30-35 minutes, or until they are well risen and a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean.
Cool the pans on a rack for 5 minutes then turn the cakes out of the pan.
Dust with powdered sugar, slice and serve.

Why this The Perfect Chocolate Loaf Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This The Perfect Chocolate Loaf Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
