🍫 Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
Ingredients (9×5-inch loaf pan)
Dry Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup milk
Fudge Layer
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
-
1/4 cup fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix wet ingredients
-
In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
4. Combine
-
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and fold until just combined (do not overmix).
5. Add fudge layer
-
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan.
-
Drizzle fudge sauce and sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter.
-
Pour the remaining batter on top.
-
Optional: swirl slightly with a knife for a marbled fudge effect.
6. Bake
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (some fudgy crumbs are okay — you want it gooey).
7. Cool & serve
-
Let the bread cool 10–15 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or extra fudge sauce.
✨ Tips for Extra Gooey Brownie Bread
-
Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks for pockets of molten chocolate.
-
For a richer texture, replace 1/4 cup milk with heavy cream.
-
Top with powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel for a dessert-worthy presentation.
-
Make mini loaves for gift-giving or portion control.
If you want, I can also give you a one-bowl, ultra-chewy version that’s even more fudgy and easier to make.
