Ingredients

For a standard loaf (makes about 8–10 slices), you will need:

1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
½ cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks
½ cup (120g) hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Optional for topping: a sprinkle of powdered sugar or extra chocolate chips.

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare Your Pan and Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
This ensures the chocolatey base stays light and prevents lumps.

3. Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and glossy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
Slowly stir in the buttermilk until fully combined.
