Ingredients

Scale

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

Hot Fudge Swirl

  • ½ cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until the batter comes together. Fold in the chocolate chips to add extra richness.
  3. Create the Hot Fudge Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the hot fudge sauce with heavy cream until smooth and pourable. If needed, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds.
  4. Assemble the Loaf: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the hot fudge mixture over the batter and use a knife to create swirls. Add the remaining brownie batter on top, then drizzle the rest of the fudge sauce over it. Swirl again for a marbled effect.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Slice while warm for an extra gooey experience. Serve with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife and wipe clean between cuts for neat slices.
  • Check for doneness starting at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
  • Variations include adding peanut butter swirl, espresso powder, nuts, or caramel drizzle.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or microwave slices for 20-30 seconds.
  • Reheat slices in microwave for 10-15 seconds or toaster oven at 300°F for 5 minutes for a crispier edge.
