Hot Fudge Brownie Bread

A rich, moist chocolate loaf that blends the best of brownies and bread, finished with a drizzle of hot fudge.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce, being careful not to overmix.
  7. If using, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Drizzle with additional hot fudge sauce before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra richness, warm the extra hot fudge slightly before drizzling.
  • Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This bread pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream.
