Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Bread:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Hot Fudge Swirl:
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the brownie bread from sticking.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking again until fully incorporated. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to avoid lumps, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Finally, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to add bursts of melty chocolate throughout the bread.
- Create the Hot Fudge Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the hot fudge sauce and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and pourable. If the mixture is too thick, warm it gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften it just enough for easy swirling.
- Assemble the Loaf: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the hot fudge mixture over the batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the fudge into the batter to create a marbled effect. Add the remaining brownie batter on top and repeat the process with the remaining hot fudge sauce, swirling again for a beautiful layered look.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (avoid fully clean to keep the brownie fudgy). Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool further.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slice the brownie bread while warm to enjoy an extra gooey texture. For an indulgent serving, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of extra chocolate sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar to elevate the dessert experience.
Notes
- You can use store-bought hot fudge sauce or make your own for a homemade touch.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the brownie bread tender and fudgy.
- If you don’t have heavy cream, full-fat milk can be used as a substitute for the fudge swirl, though it will be less rich.
- Letting the bread cool slightly before slicing helps maintain its shape and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
