Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mix aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk in the cocoa powder until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Drizzle half of the reserved 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce evenly over the batter layer.
  9. Top with the remaining brownie batter. Drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce over the top layer.
  10. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge sauce into the batter layers for a ribbon effect.
  11. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
  12. Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment overhang to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce before slicing and serving warm for the best gooey texture.

Notes

  • For a denser, fudgier texture, slightly underbake by about 5 minutes.
  • You can substitute banana bread for a fudge banana bread twist, but reduce the baking time slightly.
  • Slice the loaf when warm to get the molten fudge effect, or chill slightly for cleaner slices.
