Hot Fudge Brownie Bread Recipe

Introduction

Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a decadent twist on classic brownies, baked in a loaf form for easy slicing and sharing. Rich with cocoa and swirled with hot fudge sauce, this dessert is perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Step 3: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Stir the hot fudge sauce into the wet mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
5. Step 5: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. The batter will be thick.
6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The top should be slightly cracked.
8. Step 8: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Step 9: Drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce before serving for an extra layer of deliciousness.

Tips & Variations

• Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor and smoother texture.
• For added texture, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
• Swap hot fudge sauce with caramel sauce for a different but equally delicious flavor.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Storage

Store the brownie bread tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to one week or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat slices gently in the microwave for about 15 seconds to regain warmth before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate sauce instead of hot fudge sauce?

Yes, regular chocolate sauce can be used, but hot fudge sauce has a thicker and richer consistency that enhances the brownie bread’s texture and flavor.

How do I know when the brownie bread is done baking?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The top will also have a slight crack, indicating it’s baked through without being dry.

Wet Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure uniform texture.

4. Add the Fudge Sauce: Stir the hot fudge sauce into the wet mixture thoroughly until smooth, ensuring the fudge flavor is well distributed.

Notes

• Ensure the melted butter is cooled slightly before mixing with eggs to prevent curdling.
• Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
• If you prefer, substitute the 1/2 cup hot fudge with a homemade fudge sauce or chocolate syrup.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
• Reheat slices slightly to enjoy the fudgy texture and flavor.
