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

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the baked bread.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder; stir gently until the batter comes together. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to add richness and texture.
  3. Create the Hot Fudge Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the hot fudge sauce and heavy cream. Mix well until smooth and pourable. If the mixture is too thick, warm it gently in the microwave for 10 seconds to loosen the consistency.
  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, then use a knife to swirl it for a marbled effect. Add the remaining brownie batter on top, drizzle the rest of the fudge sauce, and swirl again carefully to maintain the marbled pattern.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Slice the brownie bread while still warm for an extra gooey and indulgent experience. Optionally, serve with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added decadence.

Notes

  • Store brownie bread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or microwave slices before serving.
  • Use gluten-free 1:1 baking flour as a substitute to make it gluten-free.
  • Vegan/dairy-free adaptations include using vegan butter, dairy-free chocolate chips, and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • To cleanly slice, use a sharp knife and wipe between slices.
  • Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness; start checking doneness at 50 minutes.
  • Try variations like adding peanut butter to the fudge swirl, espresso powder to the batter, or folding in nuts for texture.
