Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Layer the fudge: Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over it, then repeat with the remaining batter and fudge. Use a knife to swirl gently.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve warm with extra hot fudge or ice cream. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Coconut sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar for a less processed sweetener.
• Optional variations: Add in dried fruits like cherries or even a splash of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor. For a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving for a warm treat.
