Ingredients:
For the Brownie Bread:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Fudge Swirl:
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
For Topping:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard-sized loaf pan.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Create the Fudge Swirl:
- Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly to make it more pliable. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the fudge sauce over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and fudge sauce.
6. Swirl the Batter:
- Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the fudge sauce through the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
7. Add Chocolate Chips:
- Sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips over the top of the batter for an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.
8. Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgier texture.
9. Cool and Dust:
- Allow the Hot Fudge Brownie Bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
