INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, melt butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients: Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Assemble the bread: Spread batter into prepared pan. Drop hot fudge sauce by spoonfuls onto the batter, using a knife to swirl the sauce into the batter. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if using.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the center is set but still soft. Do not overcook.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
NOTES
Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the texture soft and fudgy.
The hot fudge sauce can be increased or decreased based on personal chocolate intensity preference.
