Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (or Melted Butter)
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Hot Fudge Ingredients: 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder, 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar, 1/4 cup Milk, 2 tbsp Butter, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, milk, and butter for the fudge swirl until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Pour about half of the brownie bread batter into your prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over the batter and swirl gently.
  7. Spoon the remaining brownie bread batter over the first layer and drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce on top. Swirl again.
  8. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Tent with aluminum foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before lifting it out and cooling completely on a wire rack.

Keywords: Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense bread. Customize your fudge with espresso powder or add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture.
