Ingredients
 

For the Brownie Bread:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce plus more for swirling and serving

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugar:

  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine with Dry Ingredients:

  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Add Hot Fudge Sauce:

  • Gently fold in 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce into the batter. If the sauce is too thick, gently warm it up to make it more pourable.

Pour Batter into Pan:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop spoonfuls of additional hot fudge sauce on top of the batter and use a knife to swirl it through for a marbled effect.

Bake:

  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Glaze:

  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. If using the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract until smooth, and drizzle over the cooled bread.

Serve:

  • Slice and serve the bread with an extra drizzle of hot fudge sauce on top if desired.
