Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 grams dark chocolate (for ganache)
- 20 grams butter (for ganache)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20 cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before making the ganache.
To prepare the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the butter until fully incorporated and glossy.
Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the ganache to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Once the ganache is set, remove the brownies from the pan and cut into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
