Ingredients

For the Bread

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• ½ teaspoon salt
  
  

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• 1 cup buttermilk
  
  

• ½ cup hot fudge sauce
  
  

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  
  

For the Fudge Topping

• ½ cup hot fudge sauce, warmed
  
  

• ¼ cup chocolate chips
  
  

• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
   
   

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
   
   

3. Create the base: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
   
   

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   
   

5. Add the magic: Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
   
   

6. Bake to perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
   
   

7. Final touches: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack. While still warm, drizzle with additional warmed hot fudge sauce and sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts if desired.
