Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 85 grams cold unsalted butter (for streusel)
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for streusel)
- 50 grams brown sugar (for streusel)
- 100 grams all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 15 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for streusel)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Then add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
To make the streusel topping, combine the cold butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the brownie batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
