Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For topping:
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce warmed
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet & Dry: Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Add Chocolate: Gently fold in ½ cup hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool & Top: Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and while warm, drizzle with remaining hot fudge and sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
