Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small 20cm (8-inch) square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, and gently fold together until combined.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture, and carefully fold until smooth and no dry streaks remain. If using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the middle is still slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares or scooping out with a spoon for a more casual 'splodge' style serving.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with ice cream or fresh cream for extra indulgence.
