Ingredients
For the Brownie Bread:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
For the Hot Fudge Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Brownie Bread
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Melt Butter:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla:
- Stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 2: Make the Hot Fudge Sauce
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and sugar. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add Vanilla:
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Serve
- Slice the brownie bread and serve warm, drizzled with hot fudge sauce. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!
