Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
½ cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for serving)

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Make Brownie Batter
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Stir in sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Add Chocolate Chunks & Fudge
Fold in chocolate chunks gently. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, drizzle half the hot fudge sauce over it. Pour remaining batter on top, then drizzle the rest of the fudge.
Swirl & Bake
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the fudge into the batter to create a marbled effect. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool & Serve
Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra hot fudge sauce and vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tips & Tricks

Use good quality cocoa powder for intense chocolate flavor.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep it tender and fudgy.
You can substitute hot fudge sauce with chocolate syrup or homemade ganache.
For a nutty twist, add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days — reheat slices gently.
