Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. Measure out all your ingredients to keep the process smooth and straightforward as you bake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure even distribution of the leavening and cocoa.
- Cream Butter and Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with eggs and vanilla extract until light and creamy, which helps create a tender crumb in the final bread.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and not dense.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Hot Fudge: Fold in chocolate chips, then pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle a generous layer of hot fudge sauce over the batter, then top with the remaining batter. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread.
- Place the oven rack in the center to ensure even baking.
- Start checking for doneness at 40 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- Invest in good-quality cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor.
