Notes

Do not over mix batter. Finish whisking once ingredients are just combined.
I do not recommend subbing butter for oil in this recipe. The oil will make a moister loaf. 
Sift cocoa powder to break up any clumps. 
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Place a paper towel under the loaf to absorb any excess moisture.
