Ingredients
- Brownie Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Hot Fudge Swirl:
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- Topping:
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- 3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined (batter will be thick). Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- 4. In a small bowl, microwave hot fudge sauce and heavy cream for 20-30 seconds until pourable. Do not overheat.
- 5. Pour half the brownie batter into prepared pan. Drizzle half the hot fudge mixture over batter and swirl gently with a knife. Top with remaining batter, drizzle with remaining fudge, and swirl again. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- 6. Bake 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). If top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
- 7. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature; best within 3 days.
Notes
- Thick batter is normal don’t overmix to keep bread tender.
- Store-bought hot fudge works great; microwave briefly to thin for swirling.
- For mini loaves, use 3 (5.75×3-inch) pans; bake 35-45 minutes.
- Slice cold for cleaner cuts, or warm slices in microwave for melty chocolate.
- Freeze wrapped slices up to 2 months; thaw at room temp.
