Description
A deliciously decadent treat that combines the rich flavor of brownies with the comforting texture of bread, perfect for dessert or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce, warmed (for drizzling)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting with the dry ingredients, until just combined.
- Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with additional warm fudge sauce and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips and nuts if desired.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light texture. Check for doneness with a toothpick and let cool completely before slicing.
