Ingredients
Scale
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, divided
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the buttermilk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable for a fudgy texture.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the hot fudge sauce over the batter.
Top with the remaining batter. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of hot fudge sauce over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the batter for a ribbon effect.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce if desired.
Notes
For an extra gooey center, warm the remaining hot fudge sauce slightly before drizzling it into the batter.
This bread slices best once it has cooled for at least one hour, allowing the fudgy texture to set.
You can substitute buttermilk with 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar, letting it sit for 5 minutes.
