Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional and Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup hot fudge sauce, plus more for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a loaf pan with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky liquid foundation by whisking eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly integrated, then blend in the hot fudge sauce until the mixture achieves a uniform, glossy consistency.
- Gradually fold the brownie mix into the liquid ingredients, stirring gently to form a rich, dark chocolate batter. Embrace slight textural variations and avoid aggressive mixing.
- Transfer the velvety batter into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring an even distribution and crowning the surface with a generous scattering of chocolate chips for enhanced indulgence.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and monitor the baking process for 45 to 50 minutes. Verify doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should emerge with delicate, moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Rest the freshly baked bread in the pan for approximately 10 minutes, then carefully migrate to a cooling rack. Once temperature stabilizes, slice and serve. Optional: Complement with vanilla ice cream or an additional drizzle of hot fudge for maximum decadence.
Notes
- Customize the chocolate intensity by choosing dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips based on personal preference.
- Replace vegetable oil with Greek yogurt or applesauce for a lighter, healthier version that maintains moisture.
- Enhance texture by gently folding in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch and depth of flavor.
- Consider sprinkling sea salt on top before baking to create a delightful sweet-and-salty contrast that elevates the overall taste experience.
