Ready to whip up this chocolatey delight? Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Bread Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 3: Prepare the Hot Fudge Swirl

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
