Description
A rich and indulgent hot fudge brownie bread with a dense, fudgy texture and ribbons of gooey chocolate sauce swirled throughout. Perfectly sliceable like a loaf cake, yet moist and decadent like a brownie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (85 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) hot fudge sauce, divided
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the hot fudge sauce over it and gently swirl with a knife.
- Add the remaining batter on top and drizzle the rest of the hot fudge sauce, swirling lightly again.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing to maintain a dense, fudgy texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
- Microwave slices for 10–15 seconds before serving for a warm, gooey texture.
- Add nuts, white chocolate chips, or swirl in peanut butter for variations.
