👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).

- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
3️⃣ Add the Hot Fudge Swirl
- Drop spoonfuls of hot fudge sauce over the batter.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the hot fudge into the batter for a marbled effect.
4️⃣ Bake the Brownie Bread
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. (For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake!)
5️⃣ Make the Hot Fudge Sauce (Optional, But Worth It!)
- In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and butter over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and let it cool slightly before serving.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
