Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- Half teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter that is unsalted (softened)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup of hot Fudge sauce
- 1 Cup chocolate pieces

- Substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt to get a more tangy and lighter alternative.
- Make use of dark chocolate chunks for a richer taste.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, ensuring every corner is covered to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
This ensures even distribution of the baking soda for a perfect rise.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the batter, ensuring a soft, moist bread.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients for the best texture.
Step 6: Incorporate the Fudge and Chocolate
Fold in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chunks. Be careful not to overmix—this helps maintain the bread’s tender crumb.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve once fully cooled.
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty twist.
- If your fudge sauce is thick, warm it slightly to make mixing easier.
