- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or cake flour for a lighter texture
- ½ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Pan
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and hot fudge sauce together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Step 5: Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 6: Cool & Add Fudge Drizzle
- Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce before slicing and serving.
