Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% or higher, chopped)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until fully incorporated. Whisk the vanilla extract into the mixture.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, ensuring no streaks remain.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and 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. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
