Create a decadent dessert that combines the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the familiar shape of a loaf cake. This recipe delivers intense chocolate flavor and a molten fudge swirl throughout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup prepared hot fudge sauce (for swirl)
  • 1/4 cup additional semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Whisk until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. Fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Drizzle half of the prepared hot fudge sauce evenly over the batter layer.
  8. Spoon the remaining batter over the fudge layer. Top with the remaining hot fudge sauce. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the batter, creating a rich swirl effect.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
  11. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the fudgiest results, serve this loaf slightly warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This loaf cake freezes well once completely cooled; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
