Hot Fudge Brownie Bread Recipe
Indulgent, Fudgy, and Delicious—The Ultimate Chocolate Lover’s Dream!
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Bread:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Hot Fudge Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Brownie Bread Batter:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips for extra fudgy goodness.
3. Bake the Brownie Bread:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter). The bread should look slightly cracked on top.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Make the Hot Fudge Sauce:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
5. Serve:
- Slice the cooled brownie bread and drizzle with the warm hot fudge sauce. For an extra treat, top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries.
- Enjoy the rich, fudgy texture and the decadent chocolate flavor!
Tips for Perfect Hot Fudge Brownie Bread:
- Texture Tip: For a more cake-like texture, increase the baking powder slightly or add a bit more flour. For extra fudginess, use more chocolate chips or even add chunks of your favorite chocolate bar.
- Storage: Store leftover bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze slices for up to a month—just reheat them slightly before serving.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment by adding nuts, caramel chips, or marshmallows to the brownie batter for added texture and flavor!
