I am so glad you are here. You can make this rich, fudgy Hot Fudge Brownie Bread that combines the deep flavor of brownies with the convenience of a loaf cake. It is easy to make and perfect for satisfying big chocolate cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, divided
  • 1/2 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, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until you see just a few streaks of flour remaining. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour half of the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce (about 1/4 cup) over the batter.
  7. Top with the remaining batter, then drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the fudge into the batter for a molten fudge swirl effect.
  8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the Hot Fudge Brownie Bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and serve this decadent chocolate loaf warm for the best gooey texture.

Notes

  • For an extra rich dessert, warm up a little extra hot fudge sauce to drizzle over individual slices before serving.
  • You can substitute the buttermilk with regular milk if needed, but buttermilk helps create a moister brownie texture.
  • This loaf freezes well once completely cooled; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
