Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix sugars, eggs, oil (or butter), milk, vanilla, and hot fudge sauce until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips gently.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the center is just set. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs—not clean.
  6. Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Or don’t—I won’t judge.
