3. In a separate cup, mix instant coffee and water until fully dissolved. 

4. Add coffee, eggs, milk, vanilla extract into the bowl and combine into one batter. Beat for 1 minute. The batter may look a bit curdled at this point, but that's ok.

5. On low speed, beat in the flour, cacao powder and salt, mixing just until combined. Do not over mix. If adding, mix in chocolate chunks here.

6. Scrape batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.

7. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs.

If the cake is browning too much while baking, cover the top loosely with aluminium foil. Remove from oven and let it cool.

Serve cake at room temperature and enjoy!
