Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (for glaze)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until no streaks of flour remain, but avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for a fudgy texture).
Remove from the oven and let the brownie cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Once the brownie cake has cooled completely, pour the glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides for a dramatic effect.
Optionally, sprinkle powdered sugar on top or garnish with fresh berries for added flair.
Slice and serve the Brownie Cake Love to enjoy its rich, chocolatey goodness!
