Make this rich, fudgy Hot Fudge Brownie Bread. It combines the dense texture of a brownie with the easy form of a loaf, featuring a molten hot fudge swirl. This is a decadent chocolate indulgence perfect for slicing.

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
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup prepared hot fudge sauce, warmed slightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 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, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until combined.
  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 acceptable.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Drizzle half of the warmed hot fudge sauce over the batter layer.
  8. Top with the remaining batter, then drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the batter a few times to create ribbons.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
  10. Let the 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 rich fudge dessert bread warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey texture, warm up a little extra hot fudge sauce to drizzle over individual slices just before serving.
  • This sliceable chocolate dessert freezes well. Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, add 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to the 1/2 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
