Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), plus extra for greasing

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

            Fold in Fudge & Chips: Fold in the hot fudge sauce, making sure to create lovely swirls. Then, gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).

              Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with extra hot fudge if desired.
