Ingredients
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup whole milk
-
1 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
-
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
-
Fold in the hot fudge sauce, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated into the batter.
-
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks for added richness.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
-
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of additional hot fudge sauce.
-
You can swap the milk for buttermilk for a slightly tangy twist on the flavor.
-
If you don’t have hot fudge sauce, you can use chocolate syrup as a substitute.
