1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Heat things up
- Turn on the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×5-inch loaf pan and either grease it up or line it with parchment paper (parchment = easy cleanup = more time to eat).
Dry team
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until everything looks evenly blended.
Wet team
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly pale. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla. It should look glossy and irresistible already.
Fudge time
- Add the hot fudge sauce to the wet mixture and stir until it’s silky and uniform.
Bring it all together
- Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix just until the flour disappears—don’t overwork it, or you’ll lose that fudgy magic. The batter will be thick (that’s the sign you’re on the right track).
Bake the magic
- Spread the batter into your loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes. Test with a toothpick: if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready. The top should have that classic brownie crackle.
Cool and finish
- Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle on extra hot fudge sauce for maximum decadence.

Notes

Want it extra rich? Swap the fudge sauce for melted chocolate or stir in a handful of chocolate chips.
Like it sweeter? Add an extra 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for 2–3 days, or in the fridge if you want it to last a little longer.
This loaf is the lovechild of Brownie Loaf Cake and Cake Brownies Recipe Homemade, and IMO, it beats most Chocolate Quick Bread Recipes out there. It’s fudgy enough to pass as part of the Different Types Of Brownies club, but loaf-shaped, which means… yes, you can slice yourself a piece as big as a brick of Giant Brownies and call it “bread.”
