  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Ensures the perfect lift while remaining fudgy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Elevates sweetness with a hint of balance.

Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing a little overhang for easy removal later.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth, and gently stir in the whole milk until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks.

Baking

  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then drizzle warmed hot fudge sauce over the batter.
  • Top with the remaining batter, smoothing it over the sauce.
  • Bake in the oven for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Let your Hot Fudge Brownie Bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or drizzle extra hot fudge sauce on top for an indulgent treat. To prevent issues, ensure your butter is melted, not hot, and let eggs come to room temperature.
