Description
A decadent brownie loaf that’s swirled with hot fudge and loaded with chocolate chips, perfect for dessert or breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce for swirl
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce, warmed for drizzle
- ¼ cup chocolate chips for topping
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or baking spray and line with parchment, greasing the parchment as well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract and prepare the buttermilk in a separate bowl.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the semi sweet chocolate chips.
- Ensure the ½ cup of hot fudge sauce for the swirl is warm and pourable. If needed, warm it gently in a saucepan.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan and dollop half of the hot fudge sauce over it. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the hot fudge. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cooling, warm the remaining fudge for drizzling. Slice and serve with warm fudge and optional toppings.
