This easy-to-make recipe uses simple ingredients and yields thick, gooey slices that delight chocolate lovers and make any moment special.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10-12 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Optional Variations

  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for Nutty Delight)
  • Dollops of peanut butter (for Peanut Butter Swirl)
  • Pinch of cayenne or cinnamon (for Spicy Chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with vegetable oil and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy. This mixture will add moisture and richness to your bread.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your bread tender and soft.
  5. Add the Hot Fudge: Carefully swirl in the hot fudge sauce into the batter, saving some for drizzling on top if you like. If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra gooey pockets.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. This ensures the bread is moist but fully baked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This way, it will slice cleanly and hold its fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for deeper flavor and richer color.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread moist and tender.
  • Swirl the fudge gently to create beautiful fudge ribbons.
  • Check doneness starting at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Warm leftover fudge sauce and drizzle it over slices for extra indulgence.
