Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan and gather all your ingredients so they are ready to go. This helps make the process smooth and efficient.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of leavening and chocolate flavor throughout the bread.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy. This mixture provides moisture and sweetness for a rich, fudgy texture.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. Then, gently fold in the hot fudge sauce or chocolate chips, which will create those signature gooey pockets of fudge.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick – a few moist crumbs are perfect to keep it fudgy; it should not be dry like traditional bread.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set nicely while maintaining that soft, fudgy texture you love.

Notes

  • Use melted but slightly cooled butter to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing.
  • Stir just until ingredients combine to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • For extra fudginess, swirl in a bit of extra hot fudge sauce on top before baking.
  • Start testing for doneness around 40 minutes to avoid overbaking, as ovens vary.
  • Use quality chocolate for richer flavor.
