Description
Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is the perfect combination of fudgy brownie and chocolate bread, with molten fudge swirls and a crackly top that melts in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for swirling)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan, lining it with parchment for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until completely blended, then pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
- If using, fold in chocolate chips to the batter.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle over a third of the hot fudge sauce and swirl it gently with a knife. Add the remaining batter, smoothing the surface, and drizzle more hot fudge sauce over the top, swirling again.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (avoid the fudge pools). Let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the best swirling effect, use a thin butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the hot fudge sauce into the batter.
- If you’d like, add toasted nuts like walnuts or pecans, or even peanut butter chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- Store leftover bread tightly wrapped in plastic or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The flavors deepen over time.
- For freezing, wrap individual slices or the entire loaf in plastic wrap followed by foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before serving.
- Reheat in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to bring back the gooey fudge texture.
