Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 50 grams crystallized ginger (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy lifting.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat with a whisk or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture until well incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, ground ginger, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger for an extra zingy texture and flavor boost.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin before lifting out using the parchment paper edges.
Cut into 9 even squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
