- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

- Optional toppings: Chocolate fudge sauce, powdered sugar, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

Step 5: Bake
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain the fudgy texture.

9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10. Serve warm with a drizzle of hot fudge or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
