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
Extras
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan to ensure the bread does not stick during baking.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then incorporate the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in extras: Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips quickly but evenly to distribute them throughout the batter without melting.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, helping the texture set properly.
- Serve: Before serving, drizzle extra hot fudge sauce over the bread to enhance its decadent chocolate flavor. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened, not melted, for easier mixing and proper texture.
- Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to keep the bread tender.
- Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven—start checking for doneness at 45 minutes.
- Use a toothpick test to avoid under or overbaking; a few moist crumbs are ideal for fudgy texture.
- Store leftover bread 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 melted chocolate and fudge sauce effect.
