How to Make Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup buttermilk
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup hot fudge sauce, divided
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, blend together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk until well combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
6. Drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over the batter. Then pour remaining batter on top and drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce.
7. Use a knife to gently swirl the fudge into the batter.
8. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Ensure it’s done by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
