Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing. If using chocolate chips, fold them in gently.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it starts to steam (do not boil). Add the chocolate chips and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Slice the brownie bread and drizzle the hot fudge topping generously over each slice. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.’, ‘Keep an eye on the bread during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.’, ‘Let the bread cool completely before adding the fudge topping to prevent it from soaking in too much.’, ‘Sprinkle sea salt on top of the hot fudge for a sweet and savory balance.’]
