Preheat the oven to 350°.
Mix the cocoa powder and espresso powder into hot water until combined. Set this aside.
Cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla extract. Pour the chocolate espresso mixture into the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, measure out and add the cake flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the wet ingredients. Fold until just mixed. Add the chocolate chips and fold to mix.
Add the chocolate chip bread batter/dough/situation to a parchment paper lined 9.5 x 5 inch loaf pan. Top with a few extra chocolate chips. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.
Slice and enjoy!
If using a disposable aluminum loaf pan, cooking time will need to be increased 10-15 minutes. Bake until toothpick comes out clean.
If using a mini cupcake pan, cook time decreases to only 10-11 minutes.
