Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it generously and lining the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until they are fully blended. Set this dry mixture aside for later use.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar using a whisk or mixer until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Next, add the eggs one at a time; mix well after each addition to ensure everything is well incorporated. Finish by stirring in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly fold the prepared dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this will help maintain a soft and fudgy texture in your bread.

          Incorporate Chocolate and Fudge: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and hot fudge sauce, making sure they are evenly distributed without overworking the batter. If you choose to use nuts, add them at this stage and fold them in gently.

            Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.

              Cool: Once baked, remove the brownie bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which will help set its structure.

                Serve: Slice the brownie bread while it’s still slightly warm for that gooey decadence. Drizzle extra hot fudge over the top if desired, and serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate your dessert experience to new heights!

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Servings: 8

                    Optional Presentation Tips: Serve slices on dessert plates, garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a few fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor contrast. Enjoy!
