• ⅔ cup (150 g) unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• Optional Add-Ins:

Preparation Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter, then dust with cocoa powder.
2. Melt chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs with granulated and brown sugar until pale and thickened, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
5. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients and fold until just combined. Optionally, add nuts or chocolate chips.
6. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and Conclusion

Serve slices of Brownie Bread slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. For a simpler treat, dust the loaf with powdered sugar or drizzle melted chocolate over the top. To store, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also freeze slices individually for quick reheating in the microwave or toaster oven.
