Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ to ¾ cup hot fudge sauce (divided, for layering and drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bread pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale, which helps create a tender crumb and balanced sweetness.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor depth.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: Add the dry ingredient mixture in batches alternated with the milk, starting and ending with the dry mix. Gently stir just until combined to maintain a light batter.
  6. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the batter without overmixing.
  7. Add Hot Fudge Sauce: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, drizzle generously with hot fudge sauce, then top with the remaining batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the fudge for a marbled effect without it sinking too much.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter. The inside should remain gooey from the hot fudge.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to allow the fudgy center to set slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use Quality Chocolate: Better chocolate and cocoa powder improve flavor richness.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir batter only until ingredients combine to keep the bread tender.
  • Test Oven Temperature: Ovens vary—check early to avoid overbaking.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Swirl Hot Fudge Gently: Gentle swirling prevents the fudge from sinking to the bottom.
  • Gluten-Free Variation: Substitute flour with a gluten-free baking blend, adjusting as needed.
