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
Additional
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 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 ensure the bread doesn’t stick after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined, creating a uniform chocolate dry mix.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until smooth and slightly fluffy. Then stir in the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly for a rich, silky base.
- Add the Fudge Sauce: Incorporate the 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce into the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and all the ingredients are fully blended for maximum fudgy flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to maintain the batter’s thickness and avoid overmixing.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the dense batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, and the top has a slight crack indicating a perfect crust.
- Cool and Drizzle: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, drizzle extra hot fudge sauce over the top for an irresistible finishing touch.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal of the bread from the pan.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- If hot fudge sauce is unavailable, substitute with thick chocolate syrup or ganache.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Reheat slices briefly in the microwave for a warm, gooey bite.
