Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, allowing a bit of overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. This should take about 2–3 minutes of vigorous whisking or using a hand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the mixing bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with slightly moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the dessert from the pan.
Dust with powdered sugar, slice into squares, and serve. Enjoy your Decadent Chocolate Delight warm or at room temperature!
