Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 90 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate and stir until completely smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugars and whisk until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the chocolate mixture, stirring well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop as soon as the batter is just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the corners.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges look set and the center still looks slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Serve the dark chocolate brownies at room temperature, with a side of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
