Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
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)
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until all are evenly combined, ensuring a uniform dry mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth and well blended. Then stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and glossy.
- Add the Fudge Sauce: Incorporate the 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce into the wet ingredient mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and evenly infused with rich chocolate flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the thick batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and spread the surface lightly with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should appear slightly cracked and set.
- Cool and Drizzle: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Serve: Before serving, drizzle extra hot fudge sauce over the top of the cooled brownie bread for an extra layer of indulgent flavor and gooey texture.
Notes
- Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder for balanced chocolate flavor without added sugar.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense, tough texture; fold gently until combined.
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature for best mixing and rise.
- Cooling completely before drizzling ensures the fudge sauce stays on top and doesn’t melt into the bread.
- Store leftover brownie bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
