Join Robin Miller on Monday, July 7th at 2:00 p.m. CT / 3:00 p.m. ET for a free Christmas in July event as she demonstrates how to bake a rich, ultra-fudgy chocolate loaf cake. This easy, no-mixer recipe features a moist center, a crackly brownie-like top, and deep chocolate flavor thanks to cocoa powder, heavy cream, and a splash of boiling water to bloom the cocoa. Perfect for dessert or even breakfast—and ideal for holiday entertaining or gifting. Click here to download the free recipe and explore the rest of our Christmas in July projects.
