Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the softened butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Blend Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Add Hot Fudge and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips, evenly distributing these rich add-ins throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not raw batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with additional hot fudge sauce before serving for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure smooth mixing.
- Check the bread around the 45-minute mark to avoid overbaking; the moist crumbs indicate perfect fudginess.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
- This bread pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
