Hot Fudge Brownie Bread Recipe
Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for extra texture)
Instructions
1. 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.
2. Make the Bread Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Mix in the sour cream and hot fudge sauce until the batter is smooth and thick.
3. Pour and Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (it may be slightly fudgy due to the texture).
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Add the Topping:
- Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the top. You can warm it slightly if you prefer a more liquid topping.
- Optionally, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the fudge sauce for extra chocolatey goodness.
5. Serve:
- Slice into thick pieces and enjoy! This bread is perfect served warm, but it also stores well for a couple of days.
Tips for Success
- For extra richness: Try adding chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) to the batter for added texture.
- Storage: Keep the bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Serving suggestion: Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
This Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a moist, chocolatey treat that’s sure to satisfy any chocolate craving!
