• 1 1/2 cups (326g) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 cup (196g) dark brown sugar, tightly packed
• 2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups (201g) all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two of the sides. Set it aside.
2. Melt the chocolate: Place the espresso powder and 3/4 cup (163g) chocolate chips in a large bowl. Pour in the boiling water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, whisk together until smooth. 
3. Add the wet ingredients:Whisk in the brown sugar, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk until fully combined. 
4. Mix the dry ingredients: Set a sifter or fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and sift. Whisk to combine. 
5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients:Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined. 
6. Add chocolate chips:Fold in the remaining 3/4 cup (163g) chocolate chips. 
7. Bake the pound cake: Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until the loaf has risen and cracked a bit on the top, 65 to 75 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
8. Cool and serve the pound cake: Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool for about 1 hour. Use the parchment sling to lift the loaf out. Slice and serve at room temperature.
