Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until thick and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownie cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
