Description
This recipe creates a dense, moist loaf that tastes like a fudgy brownie baked in a convenient bread pan. It features a rich chocolate base with a ribbon of salted caramel throughout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the caramel layer. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel into the batter a few times.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
- Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment overhang to lift it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For the best fudgy texture, avoid overbaking. The center should remain slightly dense.
- This loaf is excellent served slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- If you prefer a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
