Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk
- ½ cup (170 grams) hot fudge sauce
Sweeteners and Fats:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: ½ cup (85 grams) chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F and generously coating a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring a smooth and even dry ingredient blend.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and significantly increased in volume.
- Introduce eggs individually into the creamed mixture, thoroughly incorporating each one before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
- Gradually integrate the dry ingredient mixture and buttermilk into the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and mixing gently to maintain a silky, uniform batter consistency.
- Delicately fold the hot fudge sauce into the batter, creating swirled ribbons of chocolate throughout the mixture.
- If desired, gently incorporate chocolate chips or chopped nuts for additional texture and richness.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula to ensure an even distribution.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and free of raw batter.
- Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Once completely cooled, drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce and slice into decadent servings.
