Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Step 6

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the ganache over the cooled loaf and let set before slicing.
