Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- whipped cream or ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in 15-20 second increments until fully liquefied.
Add the cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Mix in the granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the cocoa-sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Be careful not to overbake, as the pie should have a fudgy texture in the middle.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
