🛒 Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
3️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth and glossy.
4️⃣ Combine
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Stir gently just until combined—don’t overmix, or you’ll lose that fudgy texture.
5️⃣ Bake
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6️⃣ Cool & Drizzle
Let the brownie bread cool slightly in the pan.
Drizzle generously with warm hot fudge or ganache before serving.

💡 Tips for Success
- Make it richer: Add ½ cup of chocolate chips or chunks to the batter.
- Add espresso powder: A pinch enhances the chocolate flavor without tasting like coffee.
- Don’t overbake: It’s better to pull it when slightly underdone—it firms up as it cools.
- Cool before slicing: The fudgy interior needs time to set for clean slices.
