Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
