Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure uniform texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated for a rich flavor base.
  4. Add the Fudge Sauce: Stir the hot fudge sauce into the wet mixture thoroughly until smooth, ensuring the fudge flavor is well distributed.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overworking the batter. The batter will be thick and fudgy.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, testing doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should be slightly cracked.
  7. Cool and Drizzle: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, then drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce before serving for an extra layer of rich chocolatey flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is cooled slightly before mixing with eggs to prevent curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • If you prefer, substitute the 1/2 cup hot fudge with a homemade fudge sauce or chocolate syrup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat slices slightly to enjoy the fudgy texture and flavor.
