Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and 170 grams of dark chocolate together. You can do this by microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring in between, or using a double boiler. Set aside and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is pale and creamy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using a hand whisk or electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the beaten eggs and sugar. Mix until fully incorporated.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold in the 100 grams of dark chocolate chunks. These will provide gooey pockets of chocolate in the finished brownies.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 9 equal squares. Serve and enjoy!
