03 - In a separate bowl, blend the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
05 - Fold half of the hot fudge sauce gently into the batter and reserve the remainder for topping.
