Directions

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking, ensuring every corner is covered.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and 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 softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter, which is key to achieving a soft, moist texture.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.

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 to achieve the best texture.

Step 6: Incorporate the Fudge and Chocolate

Fold in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chunks. Be careful not to overmix, as this helps maintain the bread’s tender crumb and gooey chocolate pockets.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are fine, but no wet batter).

Step 8: Cool and Enjoy

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, slice and serve.

Variations

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, this bread can be made ahead of time. It stores well for a couple of days at room temperature and tastes just as delicious the next day.

How do I know when the bread is done?

The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter). If the top is browning too quickly, cover the loaf with foil and continue baking.

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

You can definitely use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks, depending on your preference. Dark chocolate will give it a richer, more intense flavor, while milk chocolate will make the bread sweeter.

How do I prevent the bread from sticking to the pan?

Make sure to grease and flour the loaf pan well. You can also line it with parchment paper to make removing the bread easier.
