Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 0.5 cup hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup hot fudge sauce (for topping)
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- While still warm, drizzle with warmed hot fudge sauce. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Pro Tips: Do not overmix the batter – mix just until combined for a tender crumb. Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing. Start checking for doneness early – a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs. Grease your pan and use parchment paper with overhang for easy removal. This bread freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
