Make this rich, fudgy Hot Fudge Brownie Bread. It combines the deep chocolate flavor of brownies with the convenience of a loaf, swirled with hot fudge sauce for an indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or whole milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup prepared hot fudge sauce (warmed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Drizzle half of the warmed hot fudge sauce over the batter layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the batter.
  8. Spoon the remaining batter over the fudge layer. Top with the remaining hot fudge sauce and swirl again gently.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment overhang to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Slice and serve this decadent chocolate dessert bread warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For an extra bakery style brownie bread texture, chill the batter for 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute buttermilk with milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar, letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • If you want a thicker fudge swirl, use a thicker hot fudge sauce or let the sauce cool slightly before drizzling.
