Make this rich, fudgy, and moist Hot Fudge Brownie Bread. It combines the deep flavor of a brownie with the comforting structure of a loaf cake, featuring a molten hot fudge swirl inside for extra decadence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 jar (about 7.5 ounces) hot fudge sauce, warmed slightly

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 large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Drizzle half of the warmed hot fudge sauce evenly over the batter layer.
  8. Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently to cover. Drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce over the top layer.
  9. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge sauce into the batter a few times to create ribbons. Do not over-swirl.
  10. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment overhang to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. You can drizzle extra warmed hot fudge sauce over slices before serving.

Notes

  • For an even richer, bakery-style finish, you can use a mix of dark cocoa powder and regular cocoa powder in the dry ingredients.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of whole milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice, let it sit for 5 minutes, and use that in place of buttermilk.
  • This loaf cake freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
