Bake this rich, fudgy Hot Fudge Brownie Bread Loaf for a decadent chocolate dessert. It has the dense texture of a brownie with a molten hot fudge swirl baked right in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, divided
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the buttermilk.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable for a fudgy texture.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the hot fudge sauce over the batter.
  7. Top with the remaining batter. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of hot fudge sauce over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the batter for a ribbon effect.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center, warm the remaining hot fudge sauce slightly before drizzling it into the batter.
  • This bread slices best once it has cooled for at least one hour, allowing the fudgy texture to set.
  • You can substitute buttermilk with 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar, letting it sit for 5 minutes.
