Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Bread Batter

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Hot Fudge Sauce

  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce, store-bought or homemade (plus extra for serving, if desired)

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
  2. Add Cocoa and Leavening: Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the butter and sugar mixture. Add the baking powder and salt, then beat on low speed until just combined to maintain a light batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure thorough mixing. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Alternate Flour and Milk: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the batter, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour in a sequence (1/3 flour, 1/2 milk, 1/3 flour, 1/2 milk, 1/3 flour) to maintain batter consistency. Mix until just combined and avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter until they are evenly distributed throughout.
  6. Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Layer Batter and Hot Fudge (First Layer): Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly to cover the bottom layer.
  8. Add Hot Fudge (First Layer): Drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over the layer of brownie batter.
  9. Layer Batter (Second Layer): Pour the remaining brownie batter over the hot fudge and spread it evenly to cover the fudge layer.
  10. Top with Hot Fudge (Second Layer): Drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce over the top layer of batter.
  11. Create Swirl Effect: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the hot fudge sauce into the batter, creating a beautiful marbled pattern throughout the loaf.
  12. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, indicating a fudgy but cooked interior.
  13. Cool: Allow the brownie bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Serve: Slice the brownie bread into thick slices and serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, drizzle with additional hot fudge sauce and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chopped nuts, or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra indulgence.
  15. Store: Store any leftover brownie bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to one week. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Sifting the cocoa powder helps prevent lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overmix when incorporating flour to avoid tough brownies.
  • Swirling the hot fudge sauce creates a beautiful marbled appearance but don’t overdo it to keep distinct layers.
  • Check the loaf with a skewer towards the end of baking to avoid over or under baking.
  • For extra richness, warm leftover slices briefly before serving.
  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter if you desire a crunchy texture.
